Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground mace
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 6 tbsp water
  • 1/4 tsp lemon extract
  • 3 tbsp milk

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.
  8. Remove from oven, brush with milk and sprinkle with additional sugar. Return to the oven and bake 5-8 minutes more or until done. Remove and cool on wire rack.
