Peppernuts

If you like spice cake, try these. Ingredients

3 eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup ground almonds
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon pepper (white or black)

Preheat oven to 325 F. Grease cookie sheet.
Beat the eggs until frothy. Add sugars and lemon juice. Beat for a further 6 to 7 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add flour, baking powder, almonds, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and pepper. Mix well.

Roll the dough into snakes about 3/4 inch in diameter. Cut into 1 inch pieces and place on cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, until brown on bottom.

NOTE:

I forgot to put the almonds in once. They were still good, but not quite the same. Be careful not to over cook, or you will end up with a bunch of hard little nuggets.
