  • Put the piloncillo, anise, cinnamon, clove, pepper, and enough water to dissolve the piloncillo in a saucepan. When a syrup is obtained, remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  • On a smooth surface, mix the dry ingredients and form a volcano with them, placing the lard in the center and using a scraper to form a sand-like texture.
  • Incorporate the eggs one by one and the syrup, previously strained, made in step 10.
  • Form a soft dough with your hands, trying to touch it as little as possible, place it in a previously greased container and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Roll out the cold dough to a thickness of approximately 1 cm using a rolling pin and very little flour to prevent sticking to the surface or hands.
  • Use a cutter to shape the pigs and carefully place each one on a previously greased and floured baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in a preheated oven at 180 °C, remove and let cool.
