1⁄8 cup Sambuca
1 oz organic sugar

For the mix:
4 eggs
1 oz organic sugar
1⁄4 cup canola oil
pinch of salt
1⁄2 g Vanillina Pane degli Angeli*
10 oz organic flour

  2. Mix and let it sit for 1 hour.

  4. Add salt and Vanillina Pane degli Angeli, mixing until you don’t feel the grains of the sugar.
  5. Add flour and work it with a spoon, then add lievito, milk, and canola oil. Mix first with a spoon then with electric mixer until desired consistency.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°.
  7. Put a bit of canola oil into the pan.
  8. Spread it with your hand, so the entire pan is oiled and then spread a bit of flour on top.
