Anise Slices Recipes
|
1
Ingredients
| 1 | | Stick (1/2 cup) unsalted | | | Butter, softened | | 3/4 | cups | Sugar | | 3 | large | Eggs | | 1 | tablespoon | Anise extract | | 3 | cups | All-purpose flour | | 2 | teaspoons | Double-acting baking powder | | 1/2 | teaspoons | Salt | | 2 | tablespoons | Crushed aniseed | | | An egg wash made by beating | | | Together 1 large egg & 2 | | TB | milk |
Instructions
In a bowl with an electric mixer cream the butter, beat in the sugar,
a little at a time, & beat the mixture until it is light & fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, beat
the mixture until it is thick & pale, & beat in the anise extract. In
another bowl combine the flour, the baking powder, the salt, and the
aniseed & beat the mixture into the butter mixture to form a sticky
dough. Halve the dough & with floured hands pat each half into a
14-by-4 inch rectangle on a buttered baking sheet. Brush the
rectangles well with the egg wash & bake them in the upper third of a
preheated 375F oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown
& a skewer comes out clean. Cut the rectangles crosswise diagonally
into 3/4 inch slices, turn the slices on their sides and bake them in
the 375F oven for 5 minutes. Turn the slices & bake them for 5
minutes more. Let the slices cool on racks & store them in airtight
containers. Makes about 34 biscotti.
