Peppernuts Anno 1703

This recipe is from 1703 and is absolutely delicious and crispy, with a  caramelized flavor, because of the brown sugar.
The dough can be frozen, just roll it to long sausages and pack them individually before freezing them. Then the dough is cut into hazelnut sized pieces and baked, straight from the freezer.
