Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
These peppernuts are softer and more spicy than what Mom used to make. These are sold by the Mennonite ladies at the autumn Arts and Crafts Fair in Hillsboro. This is a large recipe, fine for a big family, but may be cut in halves or quarters. (I normally cut in half . . . makes plenty. – deb)
