No. 3113 — Tea Mazurek Made with Whipped Whites
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3113 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Make a fairly stiff sponge with 1 tablespoon yeast mixture, 20 beaten egg whites and flour. Once risen, knead on a table in a cool place, gradually adding ⅔ pound washed butter, ¼ glass finely chopped bitter almonds, about ½ glass sugar or more and enough flour to keep the dough from becoming too stiff.
Knead thoroughly, roll to the thickness of a finger, brush with yolk and sprinkle with cinnamon, sugar, currants and shredded almonds. Prick with a fork and bake in an oven that is not too hot.
The author recommends these mazureks when egg whites remain from other recipes.
