Easter Cakes -- Koulouria Yianiotika
1 cup Butter
1 1/2 cup Sugar
6  Eggs
3/4 oz Bicarbonate of Ammonia
2 lbs Flour
 Orange Flower Water
 Confectioners Sugar
Cream the butter and gradually add the sugar. Beat the mixture until light and fluffy. Beat the eggs with bicarbonate of ammonia. Add to the butter mixture. Then add flour and knead dough until smooth. Shape pieces of dough into pencil like strips (10 inches long and 1/2 inch thick) by rolling with fingers or floured board. Make the ends thinner and pinch them together to form a loop. On the ring make slanted slits at 1 inch intervals.
Put cakes on a buttered baking sheet. Bake in a moderate oven for about 18 minutes. Sprinkle with orange flower water and dip in confectioners sugar. Makes about 36.
