1 Cup(s) Sugar
1 Egg yolk
1 Teaspoon(s) Aniseed
6 Cup(s) Flour
1 Teaspoon(s) Salt
2 Tablespoon(s) Baking powder
1/2 Cup(s) Water
1/2 Cup(s) Sugar, for topping
1/2 Teaspoon(s) Ground cinnamon, for topping |
Directions: Preheat oven to 350F degrees. In a large bowl, cream lard, 1 cup sugar,
and egg yolk together until mixture is light and fluffy. Stir in aniseed. Sift
together flour, salt, and baking powder and stir into creamed mixture. Stir in
just enough water to make mixture hold together. Knead until well mixed.
On a floured board, roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into fancy
shapes with cookie cutters. Mix together the 1/2 cup sugar and the
cinnamon and sprinkle over each cookie. On an ungreased cookie
sheet, bake for approximately 10 minutes, until nicely browned.
