Recipe Ingredients:

• Light olive oil: 1 cup 
• Molasses: 1 cup  
• Sugar: 1/4 cup  
• Raki: 2 tablespoons  
• Orange: 1 medium, zest and juice  
• Beaten with a little sugar mastic: 1/2 teaspoon  
• Crumbs cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon  
• Soda: 1 teaspoon  
• Flour: 600 gr. (Some may take more or less)

Instructions:

• Beat olive oil with sugar and molasses. Add the soda dissolved in orange juice, zest, cinnamon and mastic. Finally add a little by little flour, stirring by hand. We need to get a dough pliable but not too hard. 
• Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 180 degrees and cover with wax paper or oil 2 large baking pans. 
• Shaped biscuits and place them in prepared pans. Bake them in oven for 15 minutes. Take them out on a rack to cool. When completely cool, store them in airtight packaging.
