Directions:

Hand Mixing the Dough for Italian Wandi’s I always hand mix this recipe.

Step#1- Sift all dry ingredients together. Slowly add one egg at a time room temperature eggs.
Then add the anise, white wine, and butter.

Step#2- It should form a soft dough. If it’s too sticky you can add more flour a tablespoon at a time. Keep a reserved bowl of flour to work with on hand

Step#3- Once the dough has formed let it rest covered on work surface 45 minutes.
Using a rolling pin. Cut a piece of dough and begin to roll thinly keep dusting with flour so not to stick on work surface.
Step#4- A very thin dough is needs to be acquired.
Step#5- Cut into rectangular pieces. Make a slit in the middle and pass one side through the slit creating a bow.
Step#6- Proceed with cutting rectangular pieces and making the bows.
Step#7- In a large frying pan add your vegetable oil and bring to 365 degrees. Add your bows and turn when lightly golden.
Step#8 Drain on a cookie sheet lined with paper towels. Dust Well the Powdered Sugar. Perfecto a Pretty Wandi Cookie Presentation
