“My good friend Donna Marinaccio O’Brien gave me this old world wine biscuit recipe which I think is the best one ever! Donna is a fantastic cook and baker and has great recipes she has shared with me over the years.
NO rolling-pin is needed, just form the dough into ropes and shape with your hands! I am not a fan of the hard wine biscuits you can buy, but these I love. They have a softer texture and are so-oo tasty! The best! It’s hard to eat just one! Use red wine for color. Enjoy the wonderful aroma and texture of these wine biscuits!”
