Croatian Pepper Cookies (Paprenjaci)
- 450 g flour (for cookies)
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons honey (light)
- 1 egg
- 150 g walnuts
- 150 g sugar
- 180 g lard
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Keep lard 20 minutes on room temperature to become soft. Put lard into flour; add sugar, triturated walnut, yolk, and honey, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and pepper. Make crisp dough out of it. Leave the dough 1 to 2 hours in cold place. Make thin (up to 5 mm) flat surface and cut cookies with your wooden mould. If you do not have one, use your mould you have for other cookies (stars, rabbits, ducks, Santai1/2s etc.). Put them on greased surface and bake them on 200u0b0C about 25 minutes. Serve with hot tea. You can vary spices but be careful: no spice should prevail. I am not sure about number of cookies you will get, depends how big your mould is.
