- 6 eggs
- 1 lb. flour
- 6 drops anise oil
- ½ lb. butter or shortening
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. salt
Beat 5 eggs with salt; add sugar; blend thoroughly.
Sift flour and baking powder; add to eggs and sugar mixture. Add anise oil (which may be purchased at the drugstore), softened butter or shortening; mix well. Knead until dough is smooth and manageable. Then roll dough into oblong loaf 5 inches broad and about ¾ inch thick. Brush with 1 beaten egg; sprinkle with sugar; cut into 1 inch slices.
Place slices in greased baking pan; bake for 15 minutes in moderate oven, or until light brown.
Enough for 2 ½ dozen slices. An unusual flavour!
