Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour

1/3 cup sucunat (or granulated sugar substitute)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground mace

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

3/4 cup butter or margarine (I use Smart Balance)

6 tablespoons water

1/4 teaspoon lemon extract

1/4 cup apricot or pineapple all fruit preserves

soy or rice milk

 

Stir together flour, sugar, salt, mace, and baking powder.

Cut in butter or margarine until mixture resembles coarse

crumbs. Combine 1 tablespoon water and lemon extract and

sprinkle over the mixture. Toss gently with a fork. Repeat

with the remaining cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time until

all is moistened.

 

Form into a ball, cover and chill for about 30 minutes or

until easy to handle.

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

 

Divide the dough into quarters. Roll two of the quarters

into 12 x 4-inch rectangles and spread with the preserves.

Roll the remaining two quarters into 12 x 4-inch rectangles

and carefully place over those spread with the preserves.

Trim the edges.

 

Cut each rectangle into twelve 4 x 1-inch strips. Twist

each strip twice and pinch ends to seal. Place on an

ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.

 

Remove from oven, brush with milk and sprinkle with

additional sugar. Return to the oven and bake 5-8 minutes

more or until done. Remove and cool on wire rack.

 

Makes 2 dozen
