on a paper lined cokkie sheet. Brush pretzels with beaten egg, sprinkle
with cource salt. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 12-15 minutes, or until
brown. These do not keep long. HARD PRETZELS: Do everthing above, but
decrease water to 1-1/4 cups. and add 1/4 cup of melted butter. Make
pretzels smaller, and bake until browned. These pretzels will stay good for
months in a tight container.
