Ingredients:
3 cups Milk
8 cups Flour
8 tbsp Shortening
6 tsp Brown Sugar
3 tsp Salt
Mix the ingredients. Roll on a floured board to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into 3 inch squares. Poke holes in each square (three rows of three). Lightly grease a baking pan. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 45 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool and you'll have enough rations for a short journey.
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups flour
1 Tablespoon of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt
8 Tablespoons cold butter (1 stick)
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2/3 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
honey or maple syrup for dipping
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add butter and mix with a fork or pastry cutter until mixture looks like fine granules. Add cinnamon and sugar and mix. Add milk and vanilla and stir with a fork until dough forms (you can add a little bit more milk than the recipe calls for if it gets too hard to stir). Roll into balls and place on cookie sheet, mashing them until they are about 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches across. Makes about 12 - 14. Bake for about 12 minutes or until insides aren't gooey. Wrapped in Mallorn leaves they will stay fresh indefinetly. Wrapped in plastic wrap they are good about a week. Delicious when dipped in honey or syrup.
