on St. Nicholas' Eve (Dec. 5).
Preheat oven to: 325*F. Mix all ingredients but the almonds
and candied fruit peel together. Add milk until it makes a stiff paste
that can be rolled out. Roll into sheets and then press blanched almonds
and chopped candied peel on top, if you desire. Cut into rectangles roughly
2-by-4-inches and transfer to a greased cooking sheet. Bake until light
brown.
