Stir together flour, starch, soda, cardamom and salt. Beat butter and sugar until fluffy, add in egg and yolks and then the milk. Gradually add dry mixture, beating until well mixed. Divide dough in half, cover and chill several hours or until easy to handle.

Roll each half of dough into a 12X6 inch rectangle. Cut each rectangle into 36 2X1 inch strips. Place on a parchment lined or ungreased cookie sheet. On one long side of each strip, make a slit 3/4 inch from each end. Curve to open slits.

Bake at 350* for 10-12 minutes or until done. Remove and cool.
