Mix in a bowl the flour with the crushed aniseed seeds, the coarsely chopped walnuts, the candied orange cut into small cubes, a teaspoon of cinnamon and half a teaspoon of baking soda.



Dissolve the sugar in a small saucepan with the honey and 50 g of water and cook it until it is completely dissolved and starts to run (syrup). Pour the syrup into the bowl with the flour and mix the ingredients with a spoon.



Then form 12 slightly flattened and irregular balls (about 5 cm in diameter and 2-2.5 cm thick), working with floured hands (the mixture is a bit sticky). Place the balls on a baking tray covered with baking paper and dust with a little flour. Bake in the oven at 150-160 °C for about 20 minutes, take the cavallucci out of the oven and let them cool down.

All you have to do is try them out and uncork a nice bottle of wine to create a unique and irresistible experience!

We wish you a wonderful start to the new year.
