Instructions for Grandma's Brown cakes

To prepare the Grandma's Brown cakes recipe, please follow these instructions:

Butter, margarine, syrup and brown sugar is melted and cooked up quite short and cool then.
Potash is dissolved in a cup of water.

Add rest of ingredients. Roll dough into sausages with a diameter of approx. 4 cm. or in the size you prefer Brown cakes.

Now comes the difficult, the cakes should be cut out.

By hand: Chilled the dough in the refrigerator at least a few hours, preferably overnight, cut in as thin slices as possible.

On machine: Freeze the dough overnight, cut in the desired thickness, my grandmother did it in max 2 mm.

Decorate each cake with a half almond.

Bake at 175 degrees C hot air for about 8 minutes.

Tips:
Yes it gives a great many biscuits! But the dough can be frozen for up to 12 months, so a game may so row 2 years. The dough must be rolled for sausages and cut, since the smulre in attempt to roll it out. Here I come to bake both kg dough, since not all even my biscuit-eating man loves them! Try it and hate it for the work, but love it for the taste and decide then whether it is worth it!
