1 cup red or white
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon aniseed
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons grated orange rind
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg
4 1/2 cups flour

Mix all ingredients except flour, then add the flour. Knead, then roll pieces of dough into a roll about 6 inches long and 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Make a loop and put one end through. A pretzel shape is okay. Sprinkle with additional granulated sugar. Let dough sit 20 minutes to rise a bit.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 350 degrees F.
