¾ cup sugar
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp grated nutmeg
¼ tsp allspice
1/8 tsp salt
1 egg
4 egg whites
1 ½ cups milk
1 ½ cups half-and-half
Combine sugar with the spices in a large bowl. Add the egg and egg whites and beat on high speed for 5 minutes.
Heat 1 cup of milk, stirring constantly, until it is steaming (not boiling). Slowly mix half of that into the egg mixture. Stir the egg mixture back into the hot milk in the pan. On medium heat, cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring constantly, until it is steaming again and thickened enough to thinly coat the back of the spoon. Do not boil it.
Remove from heat and stir it frequently as it cools for 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining milk and half-and-half. Cover and chill.

½ cup sugar
½ cup maple syrup or corn syrup
½ cup butter
½ Tbsp vinegar
1 egg
1 tsp ground black pepper
½ tsp ground allspice
½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground nutmeg
½ tsp baking soda
2 ½ cups flour
Cook the sugar, maple/corn syrup, butter and vinegar in a pot over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and it boils. Pour into a bowl and chill down to room temperature. Beat in all the other ingredients. It will make a smooth paste.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and freeze for 20 minutes or chill longer. It rolls out much easier when it is hard/cold.
Preheat oven to 350° F, and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
On a floured surface, roll the dough to about ¼” thick, then cut out shapes. Place them in the baking sheet with about 1” in between, because they do expand a little.
Bake for 7 minutes. (If they are thicker, or the pan is too crowded, they will require a few more minutes.) They should be slightly golden brown around the edges and look puffed up. Let them repose on the baking sheet until they are relaxed and more cool, then transfer cookies to a cooling rack. They should be thin and hard enough to snap, but slightly chewy when eating.
Makes about 36 cookies.

+ Pear & Rosemary
2 cups flour
½ tsp salt
¼ cup butter
¾ cup apple, grated or finely chopped
3 Tbsp honey
1 cup sour cream
1 egg
1 tsp baking powder
cinnamon and sugar
Preheat oven to 400° F.
Stir together flour, salt, and baking powder. Cut in butter until crumbly and there's no more dry powder. Stir in apple, honey, sour cream and egg until combined.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or grease the sheet. Use a dough scoop to make round, small scones. Gently press down the tops of each scone to make them flat. Sprinkle the tops with cinnamon sugar.
Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes until the bottoms of the scones are light brown.
Remove from oven, cool slightly on the sheet pan and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Variation:
Use pears instead of apples, add ¼ tsp dried rosemary to dough, and exclude the cinnamon sugar.
