RUSSIAN TEA CAKES 
1 c. eggs, whites and yolks mixed
1 c. sugar
1 c. sour cream
4-6 c. flour
1 1/2 c. butter
1 c. chopped almonds
Sugar and cinnamon

Mix eggs, sugar and cream, and add enough flour to make a dough that can be handled. Roll out 1/4 inch thick into a rectangle three times as long as wide. Spread half the butter thinly over the right-hand two-thirds of the dough. Fold the left-hand third over the buttered dough, then the right-hand third over this. Roll out and chill. Repeat with remaining butter. Chill well.

Divide dough into 4 parts. Roll each part into a rectangle, as thin as possible, sprinkle with some of the chopped almonds, sugar and cinnamon, and roll. Cut in slices, sprinkle with the rest of the almonds, sugar and cinnamon. Bake cut-side down on a baking sheet in a hot oven (400 degrees F.) until delicately browned.
