Anisbrötli
Patterned anise biscuits made from egg, sugar and flour.

About Anisbrötli
Swissmilk presents these Anisbrötli, also called Springerli, as traditional biscuits. This version uses the patterned mould preparation, producing small decorated pieces from an egg-and-sugar dough.
Anise provides the characteristic flavour, with salt balancing the sweetness of the powdered sugar. Kirsch remains an optional aromatic addition in the published formula.
The biscuits have imprinted surfaces and a pale finish. Their compact, patterned shape makes the decoration central to the presentation, while the egg-and-flour dough forms the biscuit beneath it.
