Ingredients
-
1 1/2 oz. unsweetened chocolate
2 Tbsp. sweet butter
3 eggs
1 1/4 c. granulated sugar
1 c. sour milk (follows)
3 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. soda
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg or mace
1 tsp. grated lemon peel
Preparation
-
In a saucepan over hot, but not boiling, water, melt the unsweetened chocolate with 2 tablespoons sweet butter.
Cool. Meanwhile, beat 3 eggs with sugar and sour milk.
Still beating, add the chocolate and butter mixture.
Sift flour with soda, baking powder, salt and nutmeg or mace; add lemon peel.
Blend the sifted ingredients into the egg mixture; beat a few strokes. Chill the dough for easier handling. Turn onto a lightly floured board.
Roll it out 1-inch thick, handling as little as possible, and cut into rounds with a floured doughnut cutter.
