Tayglach IV (P, TNT)
Source: Unknown
Yield: A lot

4 eggs
3 tablespoons oil (as needed)
1 tablespoon sugar
4 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder (it really shouldn't be a FULL teaspoon)
1/2 pound filberts (more or less)
1/2 pound pecans or walnuts (more or less)

Syrup:
1-1/2 pounds honey
4 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup water
1 tsp. ground ginger (more if you like the taste)

Sift sugar, flour, and baking powder together. Add eggs, and enough oil to make a soft dough.

Take pieces and roll into a rope about 1/3" to 1/2" thick. Cut into small pieces as long as it is thick. Roll to make them little balls. Place on a jellyroll sheet and bake in 375°F oven about 10 minutes, until lightly brown.

When dough balls are ready, heat the honey, sugar, water, and ginger until it comes to a boil. Drop in the nuts and dough balls, cover, let simmer about 10 minutes and then uncover. Let it simmer slowly; keep stirring until all the honey is absorbed; then turn out onto a wet board. Form into a cone, or whatever shape you wish, and let cool.
