Categories: German, Desserts, Holiday
     Yield: 1 Batch

     2    Egg yolks
   1/4 ts Allspice
     3 c  Sugar
   1/4 ts Pepper
     2 c  Flour
     3 tb Citron; cut
 1 1/2 ts Ginger
     2 ts Lemon zest
   1/4 ts Cardamom
   1/4 c  Almonds; chopped
 1 1/4 ts Cinnamon
     2    Egg whites; beaten

 At Christmas time for sugar and spice these pfeffernüsse are extra
 nice: try them once and you'll be delighted. And so will the guests
 whom you've invited.

 Here's how it's done by the German folks:

 Add half of the sugar to the beaten yolks, combine the mixture with
 flour and spices. But keep it away from ratses and mices.

 The rest of the sugar and egg whites you take, with fruits and nuts
 a blend you make.

 To ripen it now you store it away. And bake 18 minutes, the very
 next day.

 Sugar while warm and you can be sure they'll tempt the taste of an
 epicure.
