250 grams sugar

1 Tbsp white wine

500 grams flour

250 grams sugar

1 glass olive oil

1 glass white wine or vin cotto

Cinnamon powder

2 Tbsp baking powder

Peeled almonds

1 egg

Make a caramel with the sugar and a Tbsp of white wine and remove it from the heat source when it starts to brown. Make a mound with

the flour on a clean surface then make a well in the middle. Place the remaining sugar, caramel, olive oil and wine

inside and, working with your fingers from the outside inwards, mix

in all the ingredients then work in the egg, baking powder and

cinnamon. Work the pastry into a soft smooth dough and roll it out

into a baking sheet covered with oven paper. With a sharp

knife cut the pastry into squares and place an almond in each

square. Brush the surface with egg and bake for 40 minutes at 350

F. Remove from the oven, cool and separate the biscuits, turn them

over and bake for 10-15 minutes until they are brown.
