Title: Grandma Young's Pfeffernüsse
Categories: Cookies, Herbs, Snacks, Dairy
Yield: 123 Servings
4 c Brown sugar; well-packed
12 c White sugar
2 qt Lard
1 qt Milk
2 qt Dark corn syrup
1 tb Cinnamon
1 tb Cloves
1 tb Mace
1 tb Nutmeg
1 tb Allspice
1 tb Ginger
2 tb Ground cardamom
4 tb Ground star anise
6 tb Baking powder
1 tb Baking soda
2 tb Salt
40 c Flour; enough to make a very
- stiff dough
Boil sugar, lard, syrup, and water/milk until dissolved. Allow to
cool.
Add other ingredients. Early additions of flour may be done with a
mixer, but most will have to be mixed in by a strong arm.
Shape into very small pieces: use either snake method, or cut-slab
method.
Place an empty baking sheet on the lowest rack of the oven to make
more even baking. Peppernuts burn quite easily, and ideally should
be baked until just before burning point.
Place dough pieces on cookie sheets, and bake one at a time in
middle rack of oven.
Bake @ 350°F/175°C for about 10 minutes.
Note From Dad: "Aunt Clara's recipe was at least double the recipe
above. One half of the above recipe makes a huge batch. One fourth
is probably more sane."
