1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter

| Dissolve Hirschhornsaltz in 1/2 Tablespoon boiling water. Mix baking powder with flour before adding to dough. After adding 3rd cup of flour, add Hirschhornsaltz. Dough should be soft enough to still be able to stir with spoon. Refrigerate dough over night. Bake in balls or roll out and bake. Omi usually made balls. |
| Note: I haven't tried this recipe yet. when I do I'll try and be more precise about amounts, time and temp. Anyone who has or does, let me know what you find out. CU see Omi's handwritten Recipe |
