Gluten Free Klutchens

This is a German holiday recipe that came from my husband's Grandmother. We have converted it to GF.

GF Klutchens

1/2 C sugar
1/2 C molasses
1/2 C hard Crisco
1/2 C heavy whipping cream
2 lg eggs
2 1/2 C all purpose gf flour (Tom Sawyer brand)
1/2 tsp baking powder (Rumford brand)
2 tsp ground anise

Cut Crisco into dry ingredients until well blended. Then add liquid ingredients and mix well. It may need a little more flour to stiffen the dough. Chill in refrigerator over night. Roll out dough into logs about the diameter of a nickel. Cut sections into 1/4 inch thick slices. Bake on a greased cookie sheet for 13 min at 350 degrees.

*hint* Purchase whole anise seeds, store in a freezer, & grind them fresh in a pepper mill.
