2 Tblsp salt

1/4 lb yeast (four dry yeast)
2 Tblsp sugar

2 Tblsp aniseed add more to taste you can add up to 4 tablespoons the original aniseed came from Italy and was stronger then what we have here.



Recipe

Boil milk, sugar, shortening, salt. Let it cool.
Add yeast to cooled boiled mixture until it is activated.
Add eggs, flour and aniseed in that order. You can add more than 2 Tblsp. aniseed if you want. The original aniseed came from Italy and was stronger.
