**Batter will be thick.
2 1/2 cups flour 1 Tbsp baking powder Pinch of salt 1 cup sugar 2-3 Tbsp powdered Anise (yansoon) 3 tsp vanilla 3 large eggs or 4 medium eggs 1/3 cup vegetable oil 1/2 cup slivered almonds *extra oil to oil baking sheet Mix the eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Beat them well. Add oil and anise/yansoon. Mix well. Mix all dry ingredients and sift them over the wet ingredients. Your batter should look like mine in the video. ** SEE BELOW FOR TIPS IF YOUR HAVING BATTER ISSUES** Grease your baking sheet with some oil and spread the batter evenly in your tray. Sprinkle slivered almonds on top. Heat your oven to 350F and bake for 20 minutes. Then, take out your baking sheet and let it cool slightly before slicing it. Cut the 'sheet cake' you've made into bars as shown in the video and place each bar on its side. Bake for 10 minutes. Flip each bar to the other side and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until crispy. You can flip them back and broil the tops for a 3 minutes to get a golden color, if you wish. Enjoy with coffee or tea! ** The batter should be thick and hard to spread. If it spreads easily (like a cake batter) you need more flour. If It's too thick and not spreadable, it is the ideal texture. Grease your baking sheet with a couple teaspoons of vegetable oil and rub the oil on the palm of your hands. Separate your batter into two or three parts and shape into logs on your baking sheet, as if you were making regular biscotti logs. Do not make them too high, 1 to 1.5 inches is good because they will rise slightly. Also make each log the same width and height so they cook evenly. Sprinkle almonds on top and continue the recipe above.

Thanks so much for posting the recipe. It's such an interesting idea making the cake batter into a rusk. I'm excited to give it a try and a recipe for you in return. I just made these for a dessert benefit in my town and they were gobbled up.
