ingredients

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
¹⁄₂ juice and lemon, zest of, grated
2 egg yolks
5 hard cooked egg yolks
¹⁄₂ cup blanched almond, ground
2 ¹⁄₂ cups sifted flour
1 egg white, slightly beaten for glaze
1 cup almonds, chopped fine

directions

Cream the butter with the sugar and lemon rind until light. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, and beat well.
Press the hard cooked egg yolks through a sieve and add to the creamed mixture along with the lemon juice and grated lemon rind. Stir in the blanched (no skins) nuts, and then the flour; mix thoroughly.
Break off small pieces of dough, roll into finger lengths of pencil thickness, and shape them into rings.
Mix finely chopped almonds with the 1 cup sugar.
Dip each ring into a slightly beaten egg white and then into the almond-sugar mixture.
Place the rings on a greased baking sheet and bake them in a moderate oven (350 degrees F.) for 15 minutes, or until delicately browned.
