Recipe Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground mace
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ cup butter
- 6 tablespoons water
- ¼ teaspoon lemon extract
- ¼ cup apricot preserves
- 3 tablespoons milk
Cooking Directions
- 1 Stir together flour, sugar, salt, mace, and baking powder. Cut in butter or margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 2 Combine 1 tablespoon water and lemon extract and sprinkle over the mixture. Toss gently with a fork.
- 3 Repeat with the remaining cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time until all is moistened.
- 4 Form into a ball, cover and chill for about 30 minutes or until easy to handle.
- 5 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- 6 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.
- 7 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.
