Honey Cakes

Beat to a cream one-half cupful of butter and one cupful of powdered sugar. Beat into this one egg well beaten and one-half cupful of strained honey. Stir the two cupfuls of pastry flour previously* sifted with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder and last stir in one-half cupful of finely chopped filberts. Let the mixture stand where it is very cold (do not freeze) overnight. When ready to bake roll the dough very thin, cut into fancy shapes, brush them over with the white of an egg diluted with a teaspoonful of warm water. Sprinkle the cakes with granulated sugar and chopped filberts. Bake them in .a hot oven until a golden brown.
