Ingredients:

Serving

5 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 cup butter, cold
3 egg yolks
5 tbsp anise water
1 lb dark brown sugar ( chancaca)
1/2 cup water
1/4 orange rind
6 cloves

Directions:

In a boiler, bring chancaca, water, orange rind and cloves to boil. Simmer for 40 minutes until mixture forms a soft ball when dropped in cold water or reaches 238° F (113° C) on a candy thermometer. Cool.
While the syrup is cooking, preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, mix salt into flour.
Cut butter into the dry ingredients with a pastry blender.
Add egg yolks and aniseed water. Knead dough until soft.
Take small portions of dough and roll, on a ligtly floured surface, into sticks about 1/2 x 9 inches.
Transfer sticks to a greased baking sheet, placing them 1 inch apart.
Bake for 25 minutes or until lightly golden. Cool.
Place sticks on a serving dish, one beside the other, in one layer. Pour cold syrup on top. Place a second layer of sticks crosswise and pour syrup. Repeat a third layer and cover with the rest of syrup.
Decorate with sprinkles or dragees if desired.
