Last century(lol), I went to my friends party,her neighbor brought a tray with Calla Lilies that looked and tasted great. I wanted to make them myself ,but since I could not get her recipe (top secret-hahaha) I tried and this is what I came up with. I made them one year for a cookies exchange at my church, and at work .Oh ! and I almost forgot, made them for my wedding . What can I say ,they melt in your mouth and off the tray.
Citva ani in urma am fost la o petrecere la o prietena, si vecina ei a adus un platou cu astfel de fursecuri,care aratau minunat .Am vrut sa le fac si eu,dar cum nu am putut intra in posesia retetei, am incercat ce m-a dus capul, si asta-i ce a iesit . Le-am facut de atunci de citeva ori , pentru petreceri la munca ,pentru un schimb de fursecuri la biserica ( inainte de Craciun se fac astfel de petreceri ,fiecare aduce o duzina de fursecuri care se servesc pe loc si 1-2 duzini, pentru schimb. Cite fursecuri aduci, atitea poti sa iei inapoi acasa , avantajul e, ca aduci un singur fel de fursecuri si pleci acasa cu mai multe feluri).Oh! si sa nu uit le-am facut si pentru nunta mea. Ce pot sa spun ? se topesc in gura si de pe platou!
For batter you will need
5 eggs
10 tbsp oil (corn or sunflower)
10 tbsp sugar
10 tbsp flour
1 tbsp vanilla sugar or vanilla extract
and/or 1-2 tbsp orange blossom (or rose) water.
For pistil
I use Turkish Delight (found in European stores) ,but whipped cream or any kind of icing will work as well.
Powdered sugar
Pentru blat
5 oua
10 linguri de ulei
10 linguri de zahar
10 linguri de faina
un pachetel de zahar vanilat sau esenta de vanilie
si daca vreti sa dati lumea pe spate cam 2 -3 linguri de apa de flori de portocal (sau trandafiri)
Pentru pistil
rahat - eu nu am avut decit rahat rosu ,voi folositi de care vreti
Zahar pudra
First I cut turkish delight and rolled it about 1 inch long (the size can be adjusted later )
Mai intii am taiat rahatul si l-am rulat intre degete cam 2 cm lungime (lungimea se mai poate ajusta mai tirziu, in functie de marima calei )
Preheat oven to 375*F
Beat egg whites and sugar until they form stiff peaks
Se separa ouale ,se bate albusul spuma cu zahar
Add yolks one at the time and gently fold in the flour , add the oil and vanilla extract .
Se adauga galbenusurile, faina
si apoi uleiul tot odata, aromele .
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (I oiled it a little before the first batch only), or you can oil a cookie sheet but, do not flour it .
Drop batter with a tablespoon, allowing for only 5-6 cookies per cookie sheet in the beginning ,after that if you feel comfortable,you may increase to 7-8 . If batter seems to thick you can use the back of the spoon to spread it a little .
Se ia cu lingura si se pune pe hirtia de copt (pe care eu am uns-o putin,dar numai inainte de prima serie de fursecuri) sau direct pe tava unsa .
Daca aluatul nu se intinde singurel il mai ajutati voi putin cu lingura .Eu la inceput bag cam 6 fursecuri in cuptor si pe masura ce mi se da mina cresc nr lor.
Bake in the oven for about 5-6 min ,or until slightly browned on edges .
Se coc in cuptorul incins la 375`F sau 190`C ptr cam 5 min, sau pina marginile se bronzeaza usor.
Now you have to be very quick.
Without removing sheet completely out of the oven peel cookies of the paper using a spatula or a knife
In usa cuptorului, se dezlipesc cu o spatula ,
If using turkish delight , place it in the middle of one cookie an pinch it fast into a cone
se aseaza cite o bucatica de rahat in mijloc si se stringe repede intre degete ca sa se lipeasca .

this is my first failure 
asta-i primul rebut
But I persevered 
dar am perseverat
When done baking,(if using icing let cool and pipe in the pistil) arrange them o a tray,dust with powder sugar
Se aseaza pe o farfurie.
Dupa au fost coapte toate fursecurile se aranjeaza pe platou si se pudreaza cu zahar
I made about 2.5 trays like the one above ,(or 3 including the failures ,and the ones that never got to know the powdered sugar (you know why! )
)
Mie mi-au iecit cam 2,5 farfurii ca cea din imagine (sau 3cu tot cu rebuturi si cu cele care nu am mai ajuns sa cunoasca zaharul pudra, din motive lesne de inteles!
Enjoy!
Pofta buna !
