3 c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
3 tbsp. sugar
1 c. butter
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 c. cream
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix flour and butter like pie crust. Add rest of ingredients. Roll 1/4 inch thick. Cut with doughnut cutter (like my mom did), or cut 1 x 3 inch rectangles, slash one edge and form in semi circles on cookie sheet. Brush with slightly beaten egg white and sprinkle with crushed loaf sugar. My mom baked them plain and frosted with white boiled frosting, and let dry. Bake at 375 degrees (I think).
