SWEDISH CREME
This thick and creamy dessert is my interpretation of my mother's recipe for Swedish krem. It has just a hint of almond flavor and looks spectacular with bright red berries on top. Serve it in glasses to match the occasion. -Linda Nilsen, Anoka, Minnesota

JAC'S FAVORITE - SWEDISH LEMON SOUR CREAM CARDAMOM SQUARES
This one is for my sister Jac, who loves all things cardamom. She begs for this dish when she visits and usually takes the leftovers, if there are any home with her. My sis loves the cardamom to be really strong in this dish I usually add 1 tsp for her. I have added a lot less to the ingredients list to achieve a softer more subtle flavor.

Steps:
- In a small bowl or 2-cup measuring cup, beat the egg until foamy. Add buttermilk and vanilla and blend well. Add the baking soda, one teaspoonful at a time, sprinkling it in and beating until the mixture is smooth and the consistency of light cream. Add the lemon juice all at once and blend into the mixture. Stir, do not beat (you want it creamy but without a lot of air). The mixture will congeal into a pasty lump. Scoop it out of the bowl using a spatula and spread it on a floured surface. Sift the flour and 3/4 cup sugar together and use the fingertips to work it into the egg-lemon mixture. With a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out 1/32 inches thick, and with the tip of a sharp knife, cut the 'angel' shapes and twist up the edges to form a shell-like curve about 3/8 inch high. Sprinkle on the remainder of the sugar. Brush each angel with melted butter. Place angels one inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes or until golden.
