Ingredients
-
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
4 medium eggs
1/3 cup corn oil or 1/3 cup sunflower oil
2 tablespoons anise
vanilla
baking powder
Preparation
-
These ingredients fit into a rectangle oven Pan about 20 x 35 cm.
beat the eggs with the sugar till creamy.
add vanilla and anise.
beat in the oil.
add the flour and baking powder portion wise as u do with the sponge cake, preferably using a wooden spoon not the food processor, if you prefer the processor do it on the slowest speed, and don't over mix to keep the air inside.
grease the pan with oil, and pour the mixture,moisten your fingers with oil to flatten the mixture evenly, it should be about 1 cm thick at this point.
put in a pre-heated 180 c oven.
after about 20 min it will look like a cake - you should smell the nice anise aroma by now-.
take it out and using a sharp knife cut it into small rectangles about 5 x 1 cm.
take the pieces out and put them on their side on an oven tray , return to the oven till golden.
leave in the air for a while to cool and turn crisp.
keep in a neat jar and enjoy.
