Swedish Lemon Angels

This is a special recipe for the holidays, crispy and airy lemon treats. I got it from an unexpected source, but trust me these are delicious.

1. In a small bowl, beat one egg till foamy.

2. Add 1/2 cup buttermilk and 1/2 tsp vanilla.

3. Add 5 teaspoons of baking soda, one at a time.

4. Beat until it is the consistency of light cream.

5. Add 1 cup of lemon juice all at once and stir it gently.

6. Scoop the mixture out of the bowl and spread it on a floured surface.

7. Add 1 cup of flour and 3/4 cup sugar in a bowl and whisk.

8. Work this into the lemon mixture.

9. Roll the dough out to 1/32 of an inch.

10. With the tip of a knife, cut into 18 angel shapes. They don't have to be perfect and they don't have to be angels. (Re-roll as necessary.)

11. Sprinkle sugar over all the angels.

12. Brush each angel with melted margarine.

13. Place the angels on an ungreased baking sheet. Don't allow them to touch.

14. Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 12 minutes, or until golden.
