Christmas Peppernuts

2 cups brown sugar

1 cup chopped nuts

2 eggs

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon soda

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1 tablespoon hot water

3½ cups sifted bread flour

Mix the sugar with the well-beaten eggs, add the soda dissolved in hot water, the nuts, and the spices sifted with the flour. Add more flour if necessary to make a dough stiff enough to roll. Roll out until the dough is about one-eighth inch thick. Cut in tiny rounds about as large as a quarter of a dollar and bake in a quick oven (400° F.) until brown. Roll at once in powdered sugar.
