Citrus rind and juice worked into a very stiff egg dough, rested cold for days, then cut into small rectangles and baked.

I have doubled the spices from the original recipe - we like it this way.

Before you start: This is only part of a recipe — it starts with "stir in flour" but never says what to stir it into, and the sugar, spices and shortening are missing. It appears to continue the peppernuts recipe, so read that one alongside it.

Where this one came from

Nobody's written this one down yet.

Ingredients

  • Rind and juice of 2 lemons
  • Rind and juice of 3 oranges
  • 10-12 cups flour, plus more as needed
  • 6 eggs

Directions

  1. Stir in flour (about 10-12 cups) until it makes a stiff dough.
  2. Set in a cool place for a couple of days.
  3. Warm up and add the eggs and enough flour to make the dough very stiff.
  4. Roll into 1-inch logs and cut into 1 1/2-inch rectangles.
  5. Place close together on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
