Pepperkakar Dough




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




1/2 kg syrup
250g butter
250g sugar
a large cup of milk (at least 250-300mls, I guess)
1 tsp chunky pepper
1 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp ground cloves
900g plain flour
2 tsp bicarbonate soda





Recipe



preparation time – two days! The pepperkaker needs to sit over night so make sure you make it at least the day before you want to decorate it.
method
Heat oven to 350F. In a large pot put in syrup, butter, sugar and milk. Add in cinnamon, cloves and ginger and heat. Stir with whisk to mix.
Add in pepper. Mix with whisk.
Bring to boil, stirring occasionally.
Take off heat. Add in flour and bicarbonate soda. Mix with whisk.
Mix well. Dough is perfect when it is a little stretchy. Use the whisk to stretch it up to see.
Put on lid and leave overnight. Farmer puts it outside in the snow but I guess you can just put it in your fridge. The next day the dough is ready to use. Knead into a dough – you might need a little more flour to prevent sticking. Take a portion and roll out with plenty of flour – thin for small decorations with crunch, a little thicker for bigger decorations.
