  • 10 oz flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ pound sugar
  • ½ oz aniseed

    • How To Cook:
    1. Beat the eggs and sugar for 15 minutes, and then gradually add the aniseed and the flour mixed with the baking powder.

    2. Knead quickly on a board.

    3. The dough should not be moist, but rather dry.

    4. When ready for cooking, the cakes should be dry and white on top but damp underneath.

    5. Bake in a moderate oven (350°F) for about 15 minutes-the cakes should rise, but still remain white.

    THERE ARE TWO WAYS OF SHAPING THE CAKES:
    1. The first is to make rolls 2 inches long and nick each with a knife in 2 places, then shape into a semicircle.

    2. The other method is to roll out the dough ¼ - 3/8 inch thick and cut it with fancy cutters. Place the pieces on a buttered tin and leave to rest for 24 hours in a dry, airy place.
