Fattigmand

1. In large mixer bowl, beat egg yolks and sugar about 10 minutes or until very thick and lemon colored. Stir in cream, brandy, cardamom and lemon peel. Mix in enough flour to make a stiff dough. Cover; chill at least 3 hours.
2. Heat fat or oil (2 inches) to 375 degrees. Divide dough in half. Roll each half very thin, 1/8 to 1/16 inch thick, on well-floured board. Cut dough into 4x2-inch diamonds. Make 1-inch horizontal slit in center of each; draw a long point of diamond through slit and curl back in opposite direction.
3. Fry in hot fat about 15 seconds on each side until light brown. Drain. Store in airtight container. Before serving, sprinkle with confectioners sugar.
