Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups lard*
1 cup sugar
1 egg yok
1 teaspoon aniseed
6 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup water (to 3/4 cup)
1/2 cup sugar -- for topping
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon -- for topping
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, cream lard, 1 cup sugar, and egg yok 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.
*Judi's notes: You may use shortening or unsalted butter as a substitute for the lard.
