Specifically, how many cups of flour? One advantage of hartshorn is that it reacts (i.e. rises) to heat, whereas other leavenings react to liquid or acid AND heat.

There is just the right amount of air exchange in the tins. It would be worth investing in tins as they can be reused over and over again. To soften the cookies, you can put a slice of apple on a firm piece of bread a day before serving them. If you put the apple in now, your cookies may mold. Bonnie - Yes, you can use anise extract, but it is not nearly as strong and is alcohol based. You will need to use a lot more. Francie - They probably have a higher moisture content and it is likely that you are using baking powder rather than <a href="http://www.houseonthehill.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=635" rel="nofollow">Hartshorn</a>. I'll need to review your recipe in order to better answer your question. Please email me at info@houseonthehill.net. Bonnie – Zip lock bags are okay, but tins are far better.

Would zip-lock bags + plastic storage containers work? Also if made now would you place a slice of apple in with them to them from getting too hard? Tins are very hard to come by.

Mellowing Springerle 4 to 6 weeks in advance of serving them is the usual timing. As I mentioned above, many people like to make them Thanksgiving weekend. Thanksgiving is rather late this year, so start baking and store them in tins. Lily, you can start making them right now!
