Ingredients

1/4

cup milk

(half a stick) margarine or butter, cut into 8 pieces

1/4

cup 100% pure honey

1/2

teaspoon salt

1

Preparation

Melt butter in microwave.  Add milk, honey and salt to melted butter. In another bowl, mix yeast with lukewarm water until yeast is dissolved and let stand for 5 minutes. Separate yolk from egg whites.  Add yolk to yeast mixture and reserve the whites for later.  In a mixer bowl, combine flour, honey mixture and yeast.  Knead the dough with a dough hook for several minutes until dough separates from the bowl. With your hands, form dough into a ball, return to bowl and cover with plastic wrap.  Let rise in Pre-heat oven to 350F.  Knead dough on a floured surface.  Separate dough in three large pieces and one smaller piece.  Form the three balls from the larger pieces and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.  With the smaller dough piece, roll out 6 pieces resembling bones.  Place two bones (crosswise) per dough ball. Brush the remaining egg white over the dough and sprinkle anise seeds.  Loosely cover dough with plastic wrap and allow to sit for another 45 minutes. Once the 45 minutes are up, bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.  Allow to cool.
