Brush with water and bake on a greased cookie sheet in a slow oven (250F/120C) for 15 minutes. Leave on sheet to cool. This recipe can be used to make gingerbread houses. Hallie's note: I have no idea just how much the cream is to be whipped. From an old cookbook called Swedish Food published in 1948 by Esseltes Gotesborgsindustrier, Gothenburg, Sweden; edited by Sam Widenfelt. Editor's note: 'Swedish Food' is the work of the Home Economics Department of the publisher in collaboration with Mrs. Emmie Berg, a former resident of Montclair, N. J., who has compiled the recipes especially for this book. They are based partly on 'Stora Kokboken' by Edith Ekegardh and Britta Haggren, a leading Swedish cookbook issued by the same publisher. All recipes have been tested and the pictures set up in the Department's own kitchens by an expert staff. Some recipes have also been tested by a Home Economics Consultant in the United States.
