From my MIL's Scandinavian Cookbook, typed as they have it listed in the book.
A deep saucepan or deep-fryer will be needed.
Sift together and set aside
... 3 1/2 coups sifted flour
... 1/2 teaspoon hartshorn (ammonium carbonate .. obtainable at any drug store)
Cream until softened
... 1/2 cup butter
Add gradually, blending in thoroughly
... 4 eggs, slightly beaten
Add the dry ingredients in fourths, mixing well after each addition. Chill in refrigerator.
Cut off pieces of the chilled dough and place one at a time on a lightly floured surface. Press each piece 1/4 inch thick with the fingers. Cut dough into 2 x 1/4 inch strips. Roll each strip with the hans to about 5 inches in length. Bring ends together to form a ring and press together to seal. Place rings on a baking sheet. Using a shark knife, make 3 slanted cuts, about 1/4 inch long, at equal intervals around each ring.
Set out a deep saucepan or deep-fryer 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly browned, turning once to brown evenly. Drain cookies over fat for a second before removing to absorbent paper.
About 6 dz. cookies.
