Sirupsnitter
Ingredients:
- 9 oz. Golden Lyle syrup
- 1 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2/3 cup whipping cream
- 4 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp anise
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
Directions:
- Warm the syrup, sugar and butter in a saucepan, then cool and add most of the cream, keeping 2 tablespoons out.
- Blend the spices with 2 cups of the flour and add.
- Stir the baking soda into the reserved cream and add that with the remaining 2 cups of flour.
- Leave a little of the flour out and add it in only if the dough is too wet.
- Kneed the dough into a rectangle, wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- Roll the dough out very thinly on a lightly floured surface.
- Do this a portion at a time so you have room to get it quite thin.
- Using a fluted pastry wheel, cut the dough into diamonds.
- Gently press half an almond into the middle of each diamond and brush each with the egg white wash.
- Bake at 350 for 12 – 14 minutes.
