Инструкции
- Preparation Time: 40 min Standing time: 1 hour plus overnight
- Cooking Time: 10 to 12 min Aging time: 1 week or possibly more
- 1. Mash baker's ammonia with a rolling pin if it is not powdered.
- Dissolve it in the lowfat milk in a small bowl and let stand 1 hour before using.
- 2. Beat Large eggs in large bowl of electric mixer till thick and lemon-colored, about 5 min. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar till creamy and smooth. Add in butter and beat again till creamy. Add in anise oil, dissolved baker's ammonia and salt; beat to mix. Gradually beat in sufficient flour to make a stiff dough.
- 3. Cut off pcs of dough and work in more flour on a floured work surface till dough is stiff sufficient to roll out and hold the design of the springerle rolling pin or possibly mold. Roll out on a lightly floured board with a floured rolling pin to 1/4-inch thickness. Press design on dough with a floured springerle rolling pin or possibly mold. Cut cookies apart using a floured knife. Leave on work surface covered with a clean kitchen towel overnight.
- 4. The next day, heat oven to 325 degrees. Bake cookies on greased baking sheets, till barely golden brown on the bottom, 10 to 12 min.
- Cold on wire racks. Store in tightly covered tins and allow to mellow at least 1 week before serving.
- Note:This recipe also can be made using 1 1/2 tsp. baking pwdr (in place of the lowfat milk and the baker's ammonia) and anise extract instead of anise oil. However, the cookies won't be as delicately textured and the anise flavor not quite as rich. If using baking pwdr, add in it with the salt to the batter.
- Connie Meisinger of Buffalo Grove tied for third place with this recipe.
