Ingredients

1/2	pound	lard
1	cup	sugar
1	each	egg	jumbo, or
2	each	egg	small
1	x	orange zest	of 1 orange
3 c To 3 1/2	cups	flour, unbleached all-purpose
1 1/2	teaspoons	baking powder
1/4	teaspoon	salt
1 to 2	tablespoon	orange juice	optional
2	tablespoons	cinnamon	ground

Directions

Cream lard in large mixing bowl with spoon or electric mixer until light and fluffy.

Beat in 1/2 cup sugar little at a time. Beat in egg and orange rind.

Sift flour, baking powder and salt together in bowl.

Add flour mixture to creamed lard mixture about 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition.

After 3 cups flour are added, dough should be smooth and workable, somewhat stiff.

If it seems to loose, beat in up to 1/2 cup more flour.

If too hard to mix, add up to 2 tablespoons orange juice.

Refrigerate dough until thoroughly chilled, 30 to 40 minutes.

On lightly floured surface, roll out dough about 1/8-inch thick and cut with cookie cutters (or pipe onto ungreased baking sheet using large pastry bag fitted with No.5 star tip).

Bake on ungreased baking sheet at 350 degrees until edges are golden, about 10 to 12 minutes.

Combine cinnamon and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in bowl and roll cookies in mixture.

Aussie Meatloaf

This is an OUTSTANDING recipe! But a few tweaks to the recipe made it absolutely SUPERB. (And I never thought I'd say that about any other meatloaf recipe than Mom's.) Here's what I changed to the LOAF recipe: 1. Use half the amount of curry. 2. Add four diced celery stalks 3. Saute the onions to a golden brown before adding them to the loaf. 4. Use only half the amount of milk and water. 5. Add two roasted then diced red bell peppers. 6. Add two teaspoons of caraway seeds which have been toasted then gound to a fine powder. I guarantee you'll find yourself sleepwalking to the refrigerator in the middle of the night to sneak a few more bites! :-)
