                        SWEDISH LEMON ANGELS

        This recipe required that the dough be cut into angel shapes,
        but that's too hard for me, so I just lay it out in any cookie
        shape that I have a cutter for. :)

        1 egg
        1/2 cup buttermilk (or 1/4 cup milk mixed w/ 1/4 cup vinegar)
        5 tsp. baking soda
        1/2 tsp. vanilla
        1 cup lemon juice (fresh is best)
        1 and 1/4 cups sugar
        7/8 cup all purpose flour
        8 tbs. butter or margarine, melted

                PREHEAT OVEN TO 375 DEGREES

        1. In a small bowl or 2-cup measuring cup, beat the egg until
        foamy.

        2. Add the buttermilk and the vanilla and blend well.

        3. Add the baking soda, one teaspoonful at a time, sprinkling it
        in and beating until the mixture is smooth and the consistency
        of light cream.

        4. Add the lemon juice all at once and blend into the mixture.
        Stir, do NOT beat (you want it creamy but without a lot of air).

        5. The mixture will congeal into a pasty lump.  Scoop it out of
        the bowl using a spatula and spread it on a floured surface.

        6. Sift the flour and 3/4 cup of the sugar together and use the
        fingertips to work it into the egg-lemon mixture.

        7. With a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out 1/32" thick,
        and with the tip of a sharp knife, cut the "angel" (or whatever)
        shapes and twist up the edges to form a shell like curve about
        3/8" high. Sprinkle on the remainder of the sugar.

        8. Brush each "angel" with melted butter.

        9. Place angels one inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet and
        bake for 12 minutes or until golden.
