Maine Maple Producers


List of Ingredients

6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup Maine maple syrup
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 egg
1 cup minus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon backing soda pinch of allspice
1/2 cup rolled oats (not instant)




Recipe

Sift or thoroughly stir together the flour, salt, soda, and allspice.

Cream the butter, then beat in the syrup, lemon rind, and egg. Stir in the dry ingredients, then the oatmeal. Drop by teaspoons on a lightly buttered baking sheet and spread flat with a knife blade.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes, until the edges are well browned, then cool on wire racks. Centers will remain slightly cakey, edges will crisp as they cool.

Makes about 3 dozen.
