[Sca-cooks] Digby's Small Cakes

[AEllin Olafs dotter]

I saw that article - that's where I started. I was originally looking 
for the actual recipe, as I don't have a copy but had heard of it. I 
know where to start, Stefan... *G* I guess I revisited the revisitation...

Other than the article, I was looking in the cookies file. It was 
discussed several times there. And I did see Adamantius's suggestion 
there for the icing - may try that.

I'd be interested in what anyone has to say about this. Especially those 
who have made these before...
