recipe provided by Giovanna Tomaro

 

5 c. flour

 

1 c. sugar

 

1/4 tsp. salt

 

2 tsp. baking powder

 

2 tsp. anise seeds (crushed)

 

1 c. white wine

 

1/2 c. Wesson vegetable oil

 

1 stick butter (melted)

 

additional wine and sugar

 

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and anise seeds. Add wine, oil and butter and mix all together to make a soft dough that can be handled. Break off pieces of dough and make balls the size of walnuts. Roll like a rope about 8 inches long and 1/4 inch thick. Pinch ends together. Dab top with additional wine and dip in sugar. Place on greased cookie sheet at least 1 inch apart. Bake at 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Makes about 5 dozen.
