2 c. honey
2 c. light molasses
2 c. sour cream

1 tbsp. cinnamon
1 tbsp. cloves
1/2 c. diced orange peel
1/2 c. lemon peel

Warm brown sugar, honey, molasses and shortening. Cool. Mix sour cream and baking soda, let stand awhile. Then add to cooled molasses mixture. Add rest of ingredients to make dough. Let rest overnight in a cool place. Roll out 1/4 inch thick, using a round cutter or small glass to cut out. Dough is sticky. Do not add extra flour, just use enough for rolling out. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
Frost with powdered sugar frosting, use half water and half lemon juice. Store in airtight container, will keep several months. Improves with age.

2 1/2 lb
(1 kg) potatoes, peeled
2 onions, chopped fine
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup
(40 g) flour
1 tsp
(5 ml) salt
1 cup
(250 ml) oil (or lard)

Grate the peeled raw potatoes with a fine grater. Squeeze dry in a towel.
2
Mix the potatoes with all other ingredients (except the oil). Leave it for a while.
3
Heat the oil or lard in a frying pan. Form pancakes from 2 Tbsp (30 ml) of batter, press flat, and fry until both sides are golden brown.
Serve the hot pancakes with any kind of stewed fruit.
Be sure you make enough pancakes. They have the same effect as salted peanuts: you can't stop eating!
