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

baking powder

  • 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.
