Kind of a cookie or is it cake, the size of an open finger spread hand, best if glazed in black and white (chocolate and vanilla). A treat we got as children when we were very very good.

Time 40m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup sugar, plus
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
3 tablespoons milk
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 ounces water
4 ounces powdered sugar
1 tablespoon hot water (more "or" less, depending on humidity)
4 ounces powdered sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa
1 tablespoon hot water (more "or" less, depending on humidity)

Steps:

  • Mix all dry ingredients together.
  • Mix together water, milk, eggs, and extracts.
  • Cream butter.
  • Mix in sugar, a little at a time.
  • Add liquid ingredients, mix well.
  • Add dry ingredients in several steps, blend well after each.
  • The dough needs to be fairly firm, not like cookie dough but drier than cake dough, if it is too runny add a little more flour.
  • Put dough about two tablespoons on a greased cookie sheet, don't place too close together as this will spread.
  • Bake in a preheated 300ºF to 325ºF oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • After about 10 minutes in the oven brush the exposed side with some milk.
  • Finish baking till the dough turns a golden brown, don't overbake.
  • Light Glaze:.
  • Mix powdered sugar with enough water to make a spreadable mass, you can't mess this one up, too thin- more sugar, too thick- more water.
  • Dark Glaze:.
  • Mix powdered sugar and cocoa and proceed as for light glaze.
  • Glaza the underside of the Amerikaner with either or both glazes.
