Subj : 12/22 Pfeffernuesse Day 2 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Thu Dec 21 2023 02:21 pm MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Grandma Young's Pfeffernusse 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 Ddark corn syrup 1 tb (ea) cinnamon, cloves, mace, - nutmeg, allspice, - ginger 2 tb Ground cardamom 4 tb Ground star anise 6 tb Baking powder 1 tb Baking soda 2 tb Salt 40 c (more or less) 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 @ 350ºF/175ºC 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."
