      Title: Pfeffernüsse
 Categories: German, Desserts, Holiday
      Yield: 1 Batch
 
      2    Egg yolks
    1/4 ts Allspice
      3 c  Sugar
    1/4 ts Pepper
      2 c  Flour
      3 tb Citron; cut
  1 1/2 ts Ginger
      2 ts Lemon zest
    1/4 ts Cardamom
    1/4 c  Almonds; chopped
  1 1/4 ts Cinnamon
      2    Egg whites; beaten
 
  At Christmas time for sugar and spice these pfeffernüsse are extra
  nice: try them once and you'll be delighted. And so will the guests
  whom you've invited.
  
  Here's how it's done by the German folks:

  Add half of the sugar to the beaten yolks, combine the mixture with
  flour and spices. But keep it away from ratses and mices.
  
  The rest of the sugar and egg whites you take, with fruits and nuts
  a blend you make.

  To ripen it now you store it away. And bake 18 minutes, the very
  next day.
  
  Sugar while warm and you can be sure they'll tempt the taste of an
  epicure.
