Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

    Step 2

    In a large bowl with an electric beater, beat the eggs with the sugar until they are light and form a ribbon as the beaters are lifted. Add the oil and beat for 30 seconds.

    Step 3

    Sift the flour with the baking powder and add it and the aniseeds to the batter, mixing with a wooden spoon to form a soft dough.

    Step 4

    Pinch off small pieces of the dough and with your palm roll them into rough lengths of about 5 inches long and 1/2 inch in diameter. Form the ropes into circles, pressing the ends together firmly.

    Step 5

    Place the ciambelline on parchment-lined sheets and bake them for 15 to 18 minutes or until they are golden and crisped.
