I've been making these treats for quite a long time and chose to test the formula and update the photographs. Possibly it was only a reason to make them once more, however whichever way I appreciated crunching on them and shooting them once more. Is it true that they aren't the cutest? They sort of look like smaller than usual doughnuts.
I made a couple of minor changes to the formula to build the amount of icing for the individuals who like to make 2-3 hues, however that is about it.
Just to ensure we're all in agreement with regards to what the "best" Italian sugar treat should suggest a flavor like, here's my short rundown. On the off chance that that seems like a treat you'd like, at that point I absolutely suggest making these treats!
- 2 1/4 plus 2 tablespoons cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 sticks 1 cup butter, room temperature and cut in cubes
- 3 cups powdered sugar split
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- optional: 1/2 teaspoon anise seed
- 1-2 tablespoons milk or half n half
- 1-2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- optional: sprinkles
- optional: food coloring
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In small mixing bowl, whisk together flour, anise seed (if you're using) and salt.
- Beat butter for about 3 minutes. Add 1 cup of the powdered sugar and beat for another minute or two until pale yellow and creamy.
- Add egg, beat until blended. Add almond extract to mixture. On slow speed, slowly beat in flour mixture until dough comes together, about one minute. Knead in bowl with hands a couple times.
- With damp hands, roll about 2 teaspoons of dough to form a small log; attach ends to from lose circle.
- Arrange two inches apart on lined cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until the bottom edge are light golden brown; cool completely
- For icing, beat remaining powdered sugar with1 tablespoon of milk until combined. Add corn syrup and beat until smooth. Add more powdered sugar or milk to acheive desired consistency. Note: I prefer the icing on the thick side - the consistency of Elmer's glue.
- If you prefer multiple icing colors, separate icing in small bowls and stir in a drop of preferred coloring.
- Dip top of each cookie in icing and add optional sprinkles; let dry.
