Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 120 milliliters dry white or red wine
- 80 milliliters extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons optional granulated sugar for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the wine, olive oil, and vanilla extract until blended.
Gradually add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If necessary, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
Divide the dough into 20 equal portions. Roll each portion into a small log about 10-12 cm (4-5 inches) long and shape it into a ring or twist, pinching the ends together to seal.
Place the shaped biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
If desired, lightly sprinkle granulated sugar over the tops of the biscuits for added sweetness and texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and crisp.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
