Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 Egg -- medium
1 lb Powdered sugar
1 tb Lemon peel -- grated
4 1/2 c Cake flour -- sifted
1 t Baking powder
1/4 ts Anise extract

Beat eggs until light. Stir in sugar and beat well.
Add extract, rind and flour sifted with baking powder.
Mix will. Chill 1 hour. Roll out ONE HALF INCH thick
on floured board. Roll springerle pin over dough, or
press mold into top, flouring pin or mold each time.
Pam also helps. Expose to air overnight. Cut cookies
apart and arrange on baking sheet. Bake at 350 for
about 30 minutes. Do not overbrown. Not everyone likes
the licorice flavor of anise, so orange, lemon, or
vanilla may be substituted if desired. Store cookies
in covered container with apple slices for 10 days
before serving.
