Amish Pretzels

We are enjoying the summer. It is great not having such a crazy schedule and running kids to and fro. I have been really relaxed, which for those of you who know me well, is unusual. A few days ago we made pretzels. The kids loved it! They were quite tasty too. The kids loved rolling them out like snakes and then forming them the special Amish way. Brianna thought she was soooo good and started trying to do the forming really fast. We dipped them in a mixture of Baking Soda and water before baking to make them golden brown (good trick). This is going to have to be a family tradition.
