5 cups all-purpose flour, sifted |
1 egg |
1 cup raisins |
2 tablespoons orange rind, grated |
1 tablespoon lemon peel, grated |
1/4 cup chopped almonds |
2 cups powdered sugar |
1/4 cup hot water |
1 teaspoon butter |

1. Proof the yeast in warm water about 105-115 degrees for about 10 minutes.
2. Melt butter in hot milk; add sugar, salt, and cardamom.
3. Cool to luke warm; stir in 2 cups flour. Add eggs; beat well.
