Bones of the Dead or Finocchietti - - Uosse de Mort o Finocchietti

Prep Time: 45 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

• 8 1/3 cups (1 k) flour
• 2/3 cups (125 g) sugar
• 4 ounces (100 g) anise
• Fennel seeds to taste
• 3 ounces (80 g) rendered lard
• A pinch of salt

Preparation:

Warm the lard to melt it. Make a mound of the flour on your work surface and work the other ingredients into it, kneading well to obtain a firm dough. Roll the dough out into snakes between your palms, and shape them into figure 8s, sticks, or circles. Put them on a lightly greased, floured cookie sheet, and bake them until golden brown in a 375 F (185 C) oven.
