Comment préparer Marranitos Little Ginger Pigs

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1 cup piloncillo, 2 star anise, and 1 cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and let cool completely, stirring occasionally to dissolve the piloncillo.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup granulated sugar.
  5. Cut in 1 cup shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Gradually add the cooled piloncillo syrup, mixing until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time.
  7. Divide the dough in half. Wrap one half in plastic wrap and refrigerate while you work with the other half.
  8. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one half of the dough to 1/3-inch thickness.
  9. Use a pig-shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies.
  10. Place cookies onto ungreased baking sheets.
  11. Whisk 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water; brush this egg wash over the cookies.
  12. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
  13. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
