Preparation

20 minutes preparation + 15 minutes cooking

Beat the eggs with the sugar, then blend in the flour and the other ingredients. If necessary, to make the dough more solid, add some more flour. Form into a large stick, put onto a lightly greased sheet and bake in a moderate oven (350°F) for 15 minutes. Allow to cool and cut cross-wise to make the “tozzetti”.
