Hello!
Mandrake cookies? Mandrake is a poisonous plant with emetic (causes vomiting)
and narcotic properties (consult your friendly DEA agent or encyclopaedia).
I'm not sure you'll be able to get them through customs for export. But in
case you're still inclined I've provided a nice recipe that I once made
(successfully) myself:
Penguin and Star Cookies (American term for biscuits)
- Ingredients
100g butter (not as nice with margarine)
1/2c caster sugar
30g mandrake root*
1/3c dessicated coconut
1 egg
1/2c plain flour
1/3c wholemeal flour
1c icing sugar (or mixture which is softer)
1tbsp hot water
food colourings and sprinkles
*macadamia nuts may be substituted
- Method
1) Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
2) Lightly grease a biscuit tray.
3) Cream the butter/margarine and sugar until light and fluffy.
4) Grind the mandrake root in a food processor or blender until the mandrake
resemble coarse breadcrumbs.
5) Add mandrake to creamed butter and sugar mixture. Mix well. Add egg.
6) Sift the flours together. Add flour and half the coconut to the creamed
mixture and mix well.
7) Use a penguin and star-shaped biscuit cutter. After baking, dip in coloured
icings.
7-alternate-method) Spoon heaped tablespoons of the mixture on to a biscuit
tray. Flatten slightly with a fork and sprinkle each biscuit with the
remaining coconut or roll in coconut.
8) Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.
9) Cool for 5 minutes before moving to wirerack.
Makes 40. To raise US$2m at US$1.50 a dozen, you only need 400,000 batches
(more to cover the cost of ingredients).
Note: Excessive consumption of mandrake cookies may have vomiting and narcotic
effects. It may be prohibited in some jurisdictions to possess narcotic
substances. Have a nice bake sale :-).
Enjoy!
