BASELER LECKERLI 
1/2 c. honey (or a little more)
1 tsp. baking soda
2 c. brown sugar
3 eggs
1 lemon, juice & rind
1 orange, juice & rind
3 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. chopped walnuts or almonds

Stir soda into honey. Add brown sugar. Add eggs, one at a time. Beat well. Add fruit juices and grated rind. Sift flour and spices together. Add to creamed mixture. Stir in nuts. Press dough on greased sheet cake pan (plus square cake pan). Dough should be 1/2 inch thick.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven, brush with egg white and powdered sugar icing, cut into squares and remove from pan. Cool. These are better when aged.

Icing: Add enough powdered sugar to slightly beaten egg white just to spread thinly.
