DANISH DIAMONDS
Usually made during the Christmas holidays, these are fried like doughnuts and coated with powdered sugar. Using lard instead of butter is the traditional Norwegian way to make this. This actually sounds a bit daunting for a non-baker like myself. You bakers, let me know how it goes. LOL Cooking time does not include over night resting time. From Bon Appetit, 1992.

- Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
- Repeat with remaining diamonds.
- Gather scraps, reroll and cut out additional diamonds.
