From The Swiss Cookbook . I haven't tried them yet. Times are guesses and do not include the one-hour chilling time. Ingredients:
2/3 cup sugar |
3/4 cup honey, lukewarm |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander |
1/2 teaspoon ground aniseed |
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/2 cup kirsch (or milk) |
4 1/2 cups flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
milk (for brushing) |
Directions:
1. Beat sugar, honey, egg, spices and Kirsch (or milk) until smooth and well blended.
2. Sift the flour with the baking powder. Stir it into the egg mixture until a stiff dough forms.
3. Knead lightly on a floured board. Cover the dough and let it rest one hour.
4. Roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into 3-inch rounds. Brush with a little additional milk.
5. Bake at 325 for 15 - 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
