Beat the egg yolks, add whites and then sugar; beat well.

Add the cream, cardamom, and salt.

Add melted butter.

Add enough flour to make dough stiff enough to handle.

Chill overnight (makes dough easier to work with).

Roll out VERY THIN.

Cut into diamond shaped pieces; cut a small slit in center lengthwise.

Pull one end through the hole.
