PEPPERNUTS

By Clarabell

Ingredients

• Put into a bowl. Add:
• 1 c shortening
• 1 1/2 c sugar
• 3 c syrup (I use 2 c Brer Rabbit Molasses and 1 c dark Karo.)
• Put all ingredients in a sauce pan and cook over low hear until melted. Cool
• 10 c flour (You may add more or less flour to make a stiff dough.)
• 2 t cinnamon
• 2 t ground cloves
• 2 t allspice
• 2 t baking soda dissolved in 1/4 c hot water

Preparation

Step 1

Roll into long rolls the size of a penny. Refrigerate overnight. Cut into 1/2 inch pieces. Bake in a 375 degree oven about 8-10 minutes. Watch closely, they burn easily.

This makes enough to last all year so just use 1/2 of recipe if you want. No need to line up in rows on cookie sheet. Just let them drop where they may.
