  • 7 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 lb butter
  • 1/4 lb margarine
  • 9 eggs

Method

  • Mix together first 7 ingredients.
  • Beat the remaining ingredients well and add to the mix.
  • When the dough is formed, roll it out thin, then cut into squares or triangles (your choice).
  • Make a slit through the center from corner to corner and pull one end through (making what looks like a tiny knot).
