Biscochos

1 cup sugar
2 cups lard (NOT shortening)
1 tsp. anise seeds
2 eggs (beaten)
6 cups sifted flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/4 cup fruit juice (or wine)
Cream lard thoroughly until light and fluffy. Add sugar and anise seeds. Add eggs. Sift flour, baking powder and salt and add to creamed mixture. Add juice. Knead until well blended. Roll out in 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick and cut out in diamonds or cookie cutter can be used. If using cookie press, use 5 cups flour instead of 6 cups. Bake in a 350 degree oven until light golden brown.

Make a mixture of sugar and cinnamon and roll the biscochos in it while still warm.
