Baking

During the months of January and February, I have done a lot of baking. Here are the treats I made. 

Cherry pie and cracklin' cookies.  

Cherry Pie

 Here is how you make cracklin' cookies:

3 cups ground cracklins'                                      3 cups brown sugar
3 tsp. baking powder                                           flour
1tsp. salt
1 cup raisins or dates                                           2 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream                                              3 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. baking soda                                               1/2 cup any kind of nuts

Cream cracklins', sugar, sour cream, and eggs. Add raisins or dates, nuts, crushed; then add dry ingredients. Add enough flour for a stiff dough, it depends on how greasy your craclins' are. Put in rolls, chill over night. Cut and bake in morning at 350 degrees about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them; they  burn easily.
