| 6 cups flour 1/4 tsp salt 3 tsp baking powder 1 1/2 cup sugar 2 tsp anise seeds 2 eggs 2 cups lard 1/4 cup brandy (note you can mix and use part vanilla) 1/2 cup sugar 1 TBSP cinnamon | |
| Sift flour with the baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, cream lard with sugar and anise seeds until fluffy (you can use a mixer). Mix in flour and brandy until well blended. Refrigerate 2-3 hours, remove and bring it back to room temperature. Turn dough out on a floured board and pat or roll to 1/4-1/2 inch thickness. Cut into shapes (fleur-de-lis is traditional, but dont use anything intricate, the dough is fragile and will break), dust with mixture of sugar and cinnamon. Bake 10-12 minutest at 350 until browned. Note: if dough is crumbly, make sur dough has warmed and continue to knead. Lard can be fickle if its to cold. | |
