This is the closest recipe I've found to that one used by my mother. It just isn't Christmas until I smell the fresh ground cardamon and brandy mixed together and deep fried in lard and yes it has to be fried in lard otherwise it doesn't taste right. Hey its only once a year your heart can take it!
