| Biscotti AL`Anaci (Anise Biscuits) |
|
|
| 3 eggs |
| 3/4 cup of sugar |
| 1 1/4 cups of flour |
| 1 teaspoon of anise extract |
| |
| Place eggs and sugar in a bowl and beat for 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly add the flour, in about three batches. Before adding the last of the flour, add the anise extract, and blend thoroughly. Lightly grease and flour two 4 inch wide loaf pans. Split the batter between the two pans and spread evenly, to a depth of 1 1/2 inches. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes, or until the loaves test as done in the center. Cool, remove from pans, and cut each loaf into slices 1 inch thick. Place the slices on a greased cookie sheet and brown by baking the biscuits at 375 degrees for 5 minutes per side. Serve plain or frost with a simple white sugar icing. |

| VARIATIONS: (1) Substitute lemon extract for the anise extract, and add 1/2 cup of dried fruit. (2) Substitute almond extract, and add 1/2 cup of slivered, blanched almonds. |
