Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
  2. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, anise and orange zest.
  3. Add the oil, egg and lukewarm water, then knead until you have a soft, smooth dough, without working it for too long.
  4. Divide the dough into two balls and cover them for 15 minutes.
  5. Roll each ball out very thinly on a tray lined with baking paper, making it as thin as possible.
  6. Prick the surface with a fork and sprinkle with sugar.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden and crisp.
  8. Let it cool completely, then break into irregular pieces and store in an airtight tin.

Variations and tips

Egg-free version. Replace the egg with 2 extra spoonfuls of water and a spoonful of cornflour to keep it crisp.
