Ingredients
5
Eggs
5
tbsp
Olive Oil
5
tbsp
Caster Sugar
2
tbsp
Fennel Seeds (substitute anice if you prefer a smoother finish)
Flour – add until you have a stiff dough that resembles that for pasta
Instructions
Mix the eggs, oil and sugar together, and slowly add flour till you get a pasta like dough.
Pull off a small piece of the dough and roll into a worm like shape with your hands and then join each end together.
Have a pan of boiling water ready and literally add your biscuits in for 5 minutes, this acts as a starch tightener and helps them keep their shape.
Bake in the oven at 180 C for approximately 1 hour or until they look toasty.
