| 4 | eggs |
| 1 lb | powdered sugar |
| ¼ t | salt |
| 1 t | vanilla |
| 4 C | all-purpose flour |
| 1 t | baking powder |
| 1 ½ T | honey |
| 1 T | butter |
| anise seeds |
Sift flour and baking powder together.
Beat eggs with electric mixer for 15 minutes.
Add a little at a time powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla. Beat 15 minutes more.
With mixer at lowest speed add flour a little at a time until mixture is too heavy for beater.
Stir in by hand honey and butter. Add remaining flour. Let dough rest for 30 minutes.
Turn out mixture onto floured board. Knead into ball. Put in plastic bag and refrigerate for a couple of hours.
Roll out ¼ of the dough at a time, working in as much flour as necessary to make a dough that is not sticky. Pat down with hands, then roll out to about ¼ inch thickness with springerle roller. Cut apart. Place on cookie sheets which have been sprinkled with anise seeds.
Let stand overnight, uncovered. Bake in slow oven 225 degrees for about 45 minutes. Cookies must not brown.
Makes about 8 dozen.
