Connie Meisinger of House on the Hill Cookie Molds shows how to make the perfect Springerle cookie! Visit http://www.houseonthehill.net for more information.
My grandmother used to make Springerles every year when I was growing up. I want to learn how to make these cookies. but its a bit overwhelming since I never seen her make the cookies. I was surprised by the aging process that you use. Is it the hartshorn that ages them for a month? I don’t remember that growing up, but I remember the cookies getting stale if not properly stored. What is easiest type of mold to use for the first batch? I want them to taste good more than how they look
@TheGxf - While I have never heard of hartshorn being a problem, I have used it, and it does cause the kitchen to have a slight transitory ammonia odor. Substitute the same amount of baking powder for the hartshorn - I have made batches using either ingredient, my results were practically identical.
Thank you for this wonderful, professional video! Springerles have been a tradition in my family (from Hermann, Missouri) for generations. Now that my mother and aunts are in their 80's, it's up to me. I've made them for the past 2 years, but this tutorial helps me feel less intimidated. Question: when you suggest 4 weeks "aging" time, does that mean just sitting in a cool dark place, not in the freezer?
Thank you very much for the posting , I have a much much greater appreciation now for the work put into Springerles , it really is more like an edible crafting projecti then your average cookie experience :)
I make Springerles every year, my recipe is a little different but they turn out the same as in the video, I use anise seeds and anise oil for those that can not eat seeds, I have 2 boards and 3 rolling pins but I love the boards the best, and when I'm not using them they decorate the kitchen setting on the wall shelf for everyone to see when come in the kitchen.
