I have two like that.. One for pinwheels and one for Kaiser rolls. I love the smell of these cooking during Christmas. They taste so good. This is a recipe most similar to the one I use. I use the liquor in my recipe.
Authentic Italian Anise Biscotti
Ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of salt
4 eggs
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ teaspoon anise extract OR 2 teaspoons anise seed OR 2 teaspoons Anisette liqueur
Instructions
1.Preheat oven to 350° F (180° C). Position rack in the center.
2.Grease and flour (or use non-stick spray) three 8.5 x 4.5 inch loaf pans. Alternately, prepare a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
3.In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
4.In a large mixing bowl, or bowl of electric mixer fitted with whisk attachment beat the eggs on medium speed until light and frothy (about 2-3 minutes).
5.Add the sugar and whisk for another minute or so.
6.Add the oil and extracts. Whisk for another minute.
7.Incorporate the flour mixture. Mix until combined.
8.Pour mixture in the 3 prepared loaf pans. [If using a cookie sheet, pour ¼ of the batter down the middle. Will need to repeat this step. Word of caution: the batter will expand].
9.Bake for 20-25 minutes or until done.
10.Remove from loaf pans and let cool for a few minutes.
11.Transfer to cutting board.
12.Using a serrated knife, slice cookies about ¼ inch thick (or thicker).
13.Place slices flat down on parchment lined baking sheets, and bake for about another 5-8 minutes or longer, depending on your personnel preference and your oven (the longer they stay in the oven, the crispier they get). Make sure to turn the slices over to ensure even toasting.
14.Can be stored at room temperature for a few weeks...if they last that long.
Notes This is not your typical biscotti batter that you can roll into a "log" shape. The loaf pans help keep the batter confined. If using sheet pans, expect the batter to expand and the final shape of your biscotti will be longer and thinner, but just as tasty :) Enjoy!!!

Yes...that’s it.
Last time I looked, Hobby Lobby sold it for 11.00.

There’s a Joann’s near me, and I’ve got coupons for 40-50% off :-)
Will look for it tomorrow. I’m thinking a row of little glass things on the mantle, with those battery flicker lights inside.
A really nice idea, Liz. Thanks!

The dollar store has odd glassware. And squat jam jars in the
supermarket-—w/ pressed glass fruit designs—look like antiques
when mercuried.
NOTE Many spray paint produts have been tried and failed-—silver,
chrome, nickle. Krylon Looking Glass paint works. Hard to find-—
but Hobby Lobby has it. Spray droplets of water inside the glass before
spray-painting——to get that antique mottled look after it dries.
Shop Hobby Lobby on-line.
Wait, so you spray water droplets INSIDE the jar, but you are spray-painting the outside of the jar?

No, no, no. You spray over the droplets.

So I should spray droplets of water on outside then spray outside of the vase, wit the paint. etc.
I think this would be a fabulous idea for Xmas gifts—especially daughter...She is always looking for something interesting!

Don’t do anything until you’ve seen the on-line tutorials....there’s several that give the details.
