Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
20 oz Dark Karo Corn Syrup
2 c White granulated sugar
1 c Butter plus 1 cup lard
--OR--
2 c Crisco
1 t Salt
4 Eggs, beaten slightly
1 c Buttermilk
3 ts Baking soda
1 t Anise oil
1 t Cinnamon
1/2 ts Cloves
1/3 ts Ginger
2 c Finely chopped nuts
10 c Flour

Boil the Karo syrup for 2 minutes, and then add the
sugar, butter, and salt. Stir until sugar and
shortening are melted, then cool. When cool, add
remaining ingredients (except flour). Add flour in
increments until dough is very stiff. Chill
thoroughly (can even be frozen).

Roll chilled dough into rolls about the width of a
finger. Cut with a knife into small 'pillows'. Pat
pillows flat and bake in moderate oven (350 degrees?
~- time is unknown so I'd have to guess maybe 8-10
minutes. This is an old recipe of my grandmothers and
it doesn't^? specify).
