Soynog Kringla
Sure to become a winter holiday tradition!
4 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
3/4 cup margarine
1 1/2 cups granulated beet sugar
1 cup soy “egg” nog (Whitewave’s Silk Nog is a great brand if you can find it)
Sifted powdered sugar and ground nutmeg
Stir together flour, baking soda and nutmeg.
Beat margarine till softened, add sugar and beat till fluffy.
Alternately add flour mixture and eggnog, beating till well mixed. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Working with 1/2 the dough, on a floured surface roll rounded tablespoons into pencil like strips (8 inches long and 1/2 inch thick) form into pretzel shapes.
Bake in a 350 oven for 6 – 8 minutes until just barely browned. Cool. Sprinkle with the powdered sugar/nutmeg mixture.
Makes about 60 small-ish cookies.
