I've been craving cinnamon this week (I reckon I'm having withdrawal symptoms from Christmas!) and I had an urge to make some biscuits but chose to make a slightly healthier version by using olive oil. So I went ahead and found this recipe and made them! However, the recipe called for aniseed's, and living out in the middle of nowhere means that when we run out of an ingredient, we really have run out! So I used Star Anise and Cinnamon instead.
Instead of brushing the biscuits with egg white and sugar, I baked them first for 10 minutes and then brushed them with honey, sprinkled with granulated sugar and cinnamon and cooked for a further 5 minutes, until really crisp! I found that the star anise worked really well with the flavour of the olive oil and baking them for that little bit longer gave the biscuits a satisfying crunch!
They are a rather different to 'traditional' biscuits, but I and my family rather loved these!
