Ingredients:
280g plain flour
100ml red wine
90ml olive oil
75g sugar, plus extra for dipping
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
Method:
In a bowl mix the wine, oil, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the flour a bit at a time, mixing in between each addition. Once all combined knead the dough with your hands. You should end up with a soft dough. Roll into a ball and leave to rest for 20 mins.
Preheat over to 180⁰c, line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
On a clean work surface break off pieces of the dough and roll into thin ropes, cutting off each piece into 6-inch lengths, then bring the ends together to form a ring shape, dipping this into the sugar and then placing on the prepared baking tray. Repeat using all the dough. Leave a little space in between each cookie.
Bake for appx. 18-20 mins, until golden and firm to touch.
