1 1/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.

  • With floured hands, shape each ball into a 9 inch mound as far from each other as possible and flatten slightly.
  • Bake for 25 minutes on a rack one level up from center of oven.
  • Remove from loaves from the wax paper and place on a cutting board.
  • With a sharp serated knife, cut 3/8 to 1/2 inch wide slices across the loaf at a slight diagonal.

  • Bake on a rack in the center of the oven for 10 minutes.
  • Turn the slices over and bake until lightly browned-5 to 7 minutes.
