Directions Pfefferneuse (Peppernuts)
Directions
-
In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar. Add corn syrup, egg and honey, mix well. Sift together the flour, salt, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and baking soda, stir into the sugar mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Knead dough, which should be very stiff, by hand for 15 to 30 minutes. Divide dough into 2 pieces, flatten slightly, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate 3 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness and cut into 1 inch squares. Place on an unprepared cookie sheet and bake for 15 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until dry inside.
