Measure Ingredient
8 \N Eggs
½ cup Corn oil
¾ pack Dry yeast
¼ cup Lukewarm water
½ teaspoon Sugar
¼ teaspoon Salt
1 ounce Whiskey
½ teaspoon Anise or vanilla
5 cups Sifted all-purpose flour

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add sugar, blending well. Add remaining ingredients except the flour. Beat until well blended.

Plunge biscotti, a few at a time, into 4 quarts of rapidly boiling water. Let biscotti rise to top and cook for 1 minute. Remove with slotted spoon. Cool on large dish cloth. Slit cooled biscotti with a sharp knife along the perimeter and place on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake in a 450 degrees oven for about 10 minutes until double in size. Lower oven to 350 degrees and bake until brown. Cool. Frost with lemon icing, if desired. Yields 4 dozen biscotti.
