Yield Makes 26

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup sesame seeds, plus more for sprinkling
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch of freshly ground white pepper
1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat oil and sugar on medium speed, about 2 minutes. In a small bowl, dissolve baking soda in the lemon juice; add to oil mixture along with wine, sesame seeds, zest, fennel seeds, salt, and white pepper. Beat until combined. Add flour, and beat until just combined.
  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. In a small bowl, beat egg with 2 teaspoons water; set aside. Form biscuits by rolling tablespoons of dough into 5-inch logs and joining the ends to make circles. Brush tops with egg wash; sprinkle with sesame seeds and fennel. Arrange on prepared baking sheets, 1 inch apart. Bake biscuits until lightly browned, about 20 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I thought these biscuits were just okay. They weren't as flavorful as I was hoping for.

The biscuits were a bit dry. Maybe I should have added more milk?

These biscuits were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try using less olive oil next time.

I'm not a huge fan of olive oil, but I thought I'd give these biscuits a try. I'm glad I did! The olive oil flavor is subtle and it really complements the biscuits. I'll definitely be making these again.

These biscuits are so easy to make and they taste amazing. I love the way the olive oil flavor comes through. I've already made them twice this week.

These biscuits were a hit with my family. They loved the crispy edges and the soft, fluffy centers. I'll definitely be adding this recipe to my regular rotation.

I followed the recipe exactly and the biscuits turned out perfect. They were golden brown and cooked through. The olive oil added a nice touch of flavor.
