      Title: Grandma Young's Pfeffernusse
 Categories: Cookies, Herbs, Snacks, Dairy
      Yield: 123 Servings

      4 c  Brown sugar; well-packed
     12 c  White sugar
      2 qt Lard
      1 qt Milk
      2 qt Dark corn syrup
      1 tb Cinnamon
      1 tb Cloves
      1 tb Mace
      1 tb Nutmeg
      1 tb Allspice
      1 tb Ginger
      2 tb Ground cardamom
      4 tb Ground star anise
      6 tb Baking powder
      1 tb Baking soda
      2 tb Salt
     40 c  Flour; enough to make a very
           - stiff dough

  Boil sugar, lard, syrup, and water/milk until dissolved. Allow to
  cool.

  Add other ingredients. Early additions of flour may be done with a
  mixer, but most will have to be mixed in by a strong arm.

  Shape into very small pieces: use either snake method, or cut-slab
  method.

  Place an empty baking sheet on the lowest rack of the oven to make
  more even baking. Peppernuts burn quite easily, and ideally should
  be baked until just before burning point.

  Place dough pieces on cookie sheets, and bake one at a time in
  middle rack of oven.

  Bake @ 350 F/175 C for about 10 minutes.

  Note From Dad: "Aunt Clara's recipe was at least double the recipe
  above. One half of the above recipe makes a huge batch. One fourth
  is probably more sane."
