Nana's Anise Biscuits


Lightly sweet light Anise flavor.
Great with mint tea.

In  mixer with dough hook or by hand mix

1C water
1C Oil
3 Eggs
2 C sugar
3 Tablespoons Anise seed
(slightly Crushed)
pinch salt
2 teaspoons B powder
Flour to tighten into a dough
about 5-6 cups

Let the dough rest in the fridge, roll out thin like a pie crust, use extra flour, and cut into odd shapes squares and triangles etc... bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes so that the bottom just barely picks up a very light tan color.
