Culinary Recipes
Fennel Chews
1/4 cup butter 1 cup brown sugar, well packed 1 egg 1 t vanilla 1 t crushed fennel seeds (use coffee grinder to crush) 1/2 cup chopped walnuts 1 cup unbleached flour 1/4 t salt 1 t baking powder
Beat butter, sugar and egg. Add flavoring, seeds and walnuts. Mix well and add dry ingredients which have been sifted together. The dough will be thick and hard to spread but spread it into an 8x8 inch pan that has been well buttered and dusted with flour. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or so-until it pulls away from the side of the pan. Do not overcook. Cool on rack for 5 minutes, turn out and cut into squares. Dust with powdered sugar. Makes 25.
