Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/8 cups white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon anise oil
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the egg mixture along with the anise oil and continue to mix for about three minutes.
