Como fazer Marranitos Little Ginger Pigs
- 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.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely, stirring occasionally to dissolve the piloncillo.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 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.
- Cut in 1 cup shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 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.
- Divide the dough in half. Wrap one half in plastic wrap and refrigerate while you work with the other half.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one half of the dough to 1/3-inch thickness.
- Use a pig-shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies.
- Place cookies onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Whisk 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water; brush this egg wash over the cookies.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
