1/2 cup buttermilk |
7 cups all-purpose flour |
1 1/4 teaspoons salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice |
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar. Add corn syrup, egg and honey; mix well. Sift together the flour, salt, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and baking soda; stir into the sugar mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Knead dough, which should be very stiff, by hand for 15 to 30 minutes. Divide dough into 2 pieces, flatten slightly, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate 3 hours or overnight.
