Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup cake flour -- sifted
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup freshly whipped cream -- sweet

Beat eggs to a stiff froth in a large bowl. Add sugar and beat. Mix flour and
baking powder and blend in. Add vanilla and beat for 2 minutes. Drop by
spoonfulls on a greased cookie sheet 3 inches apart. Bake at 375-400 until
done about 5 minutes. (Its my granny..it says moderately hot oven) I bake 'em
at 375. Remove from oven and roll each cookie while hot, into a horn shape
and place seam side down to cool.I find I need to secure with a toothpick at
the tight end or base of the "flower". When ready to serve fill the horn with
whipped cream and add a sliver of candied orange peel in center to look like
flower stamen. Makes 8 lillies.

NOTES : This is an old recipe my grandmother always made at Easter. They are
really good anytime though. My daughter likes "flower cookies" all year.
