4 c. sugar
2 c. syrup
1 c. lard
1 c. sweet milk
11 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. mace
1 tsp. anise seed

Boil sugar and milk. Heat syrup and 1 tablespoon salt. Mix while warm with flour and all other ingredients. Let stand overnight. Roll in small long rolls and cut in small pieces. Bake in 350 degree oven. If nuts seem to flatten, mix in a little flour. Keep in closed containers.

Note:I used a little more flour as I rolled and work them. Grease pans or they will stick.
