Eierkoeken

Description
Eierkoeken (egg cakes) are well known all over the Netherlands. They are a nice dessert, or can be eaten in those hungry moments during the day.

Ingredients

 * 4 large eggs
 * 280 g sugar
 * 300 g flour
 * vanilla sugar or spice essence
 * 1 teaspoon baking powder
 * water
 * icing sugar

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F/180 C. Beat the eggs with the sugar until the crystals have dissolved. This may require the addition of a little warm water.

Add vanilla. Add sifted flour and baking powder. The dough should be the right consistency for piping. If it is too stiff add a little warm water but this should not be runny. Pipe small round shapes on a cookie sheet lined wih baking paper, dust with icing sugar and bake for 15-20 minutes.
