Brush them with beaten egg and let them rise, covered, on a buttered baking sheet in a warm place until they double in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. Bake in a 350 degree F. oven (moderate) for 20 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown. Brush them immediatelyh with apricot preserves. Mandelfulle: Grind the almonds and stir in the sugar. Add the egg and beat until the paste is very smooth.
