   20       oz           Dark Karo Corn Syrup
    2       c            White granulated sugar
    1       c            Butter plus 1 cup lard
                         --OR--
    2       c            Crisco
    1       t            Salt
    4                    Eggs, beaten slightly
    1       c            Buttermilk
    3       ts           Baking soda
    1       t            Anise oil
    1       t            Cinnamon
      1/2   ts           Cloves
      1/3   ts           Ginger
    2       c            Finely chopped nuts
   10       c            Flour
 
   Boil the Karo syrup for 2 minutes, and then add the
   sugar, butter, and salt.  Stir until sugar and
   shortening are melted, then cool.  When cool, add
   remaining ingredients (except flour).  Add flour in
   increments until dough is very stiff.  Chill
   thoroughly (can even be frozen).
   
   Roll chilled dough into rolls about the width of a
   finger.  Cut with a knife into small 'pillows'.  Pat
   pillows flat and bake in moderate oven (350 degrees?
   ~- time is unknown so I'd have to guess maybe 8-10
   minutes. This is an old recipe of my grandmothers and
   it doesn't^? specify).
