  6. In another bowl combine all dry ingredients and mix.
  7. Add to creamed mixture about a cup at a time.
  8. Knead lightly with floured hands towards the end.
  9. The dough will be quite soft but should hold its shape.
  10. Cut into 4 pieces and refrigerate for half an hour.
  11. Take out a quarter of the mixture and lightly knead on a floured surface then roll out about 1/4 inch thick.
  12. Cut into'men' with cookie cutters or into circles if preferred.
  13. I use an egg lifter to help get them onto the baking trays.
  14. Lightly beat the egg whites and brush over the shapes then sprinkle with a little granulated sugar.
  15. Bake at 180 degrees C for 12 to 15 minutes depending on the size you make.
