FATTIGMANN
This is in response to Carol's request for what she called 'Futimonbuckles' but in Norwegian - Fattigmann Bakkels would sound the way she spelled it. This is a very old recipe that dates back over a 100 years and actually means 'Poor Man's Cakes'.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, beat egg and yolks together. Stir in the cream, sugar, melted butter and cardamom. Mix in enough of the flour to make a soft but manageable dough. Handle the dough as little as possible or cookies will be tough.
- Heat oil in deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). On a floured cloth, roll the dough out to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 2x2 inch diamond shapes.
- Fry in hot lard until lightly browned. Drain on paper and dust with confectioners' sugar when cool. The cookies should be uniform in size and thickness and shouldn't be fried too dark or too light.

Tips:
- Use a deep-fry thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature. If the oil is too hot, the cookies will burn. If it is not hot enough, they will not cook properly.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the cookies. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the cookies will not cook evenly.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the cookies from the oil. This will help to drain the excess oil.
- Place the cookies on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the cookies warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
