I advocate the lard, it adds to the taste and texture in my opinion. Do you use some sort of gluten free flour? We're making piparkūkas today - this year's batch of dough is not working with my Kitchenaid pasta attachment... Wish me luck!Lienehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07479489443374383602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272601820794462116.post-34656155293303787932013-12-12T16:40:26.705-05:002013-12-12T16:40:26.705-05:00Zeberinas calls for a couple of tea- or tablespoon...Zeberinas calls for a couple of tea- or tablespoons of pig fat, which is not something I typically have at home. ;-) And buying a can of Crisco for just that amount seems silly. The thing I've come to not like about Pukites kundzes is the corn syrup, as I'd rather use some combo of honey and molasses. I was able to track down my friend Anna's gluten-free version of Zeberinas, but it seems that I might not find the time to try it out this year.Dziesmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00563380904245865832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272601820794462116.post-15825914547060769892013-12-12T14:40:31.011-05:002013-12-12T14:40:31.011-05:00Very little difference between Puķītes kundzes pip...Very little difference between Puķītes kundzes piparkūkas and the Chicago standard... I think this is the typical recipe of the Latvian American who arrived after WWII. Will have to see what Zeberīnas pavārgrāmata says! We've a log of dough in the fridge, now to find time to make the cookies.Lienehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07479489443374383602noreply@blogger.com
