Sugar syrup [corn syrup will work; for those in the us]
150 Gramm
sugar
150 Gramm
butter
100 Milliliter
whipping cream
1/2 Teelöffel
cloves
1/2 Teelöffel
ginger
1/2
(up to)
1 Teelöffel
pepper
2 Teelöffel
cinnamon
1 Teelöffel
baking powder
400 Gramm
flour
die Zubereitung:
Cook syrup, sugar and butter together over low heat until the butter melts. Stir until the crystals of the sugar are gone, and allow to cool. Stir in the cream. Mix the spices, baking powder and most of the flour into the mixture. Stir the dough together and sprinkle the rest of the flour over. Let the dough sit in a cool place until the next day. The best place is a cold room or the basement; if you put it in the refrigerator, take it out a few hours before baking. Knead the dough a bit until it is elastic.
Roll out to about 3-4 mm thick. Cut with cookie cutters. Large shapes should be pricked here and there with a fork so they hold their shape during baking. Bake at 175 °C for about 10 min.
