Hi everyone!! I finally found this recipe that I’d been searching for and I
wanted to share it with everyone–it’s so good! It came from a Greek friend
of the family.
Beat yolks with sugar until light and smooth. Mix the walnuts with the
bread crumbs, grated lemon and orange rinds. Add to egg mixture; stir in
the brandy (or cognac) and the orange juice. Add the spices and the baking
powder. Beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry, folding into nut
mixture gently and carefully to evenly distribute the egg whites. Bake in
greased 12×9″ pan at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Serve plain or with
whipped cream on top and sides.
