Easter Biscuits (Taddals)

"Taddals are an Easter biscuit. They are from my mom's side of her family in a town north of Naples called Avalino (American spelling may be Avellino). I spell the word phonetically- taddal -but have no clue as to it's proper spelling!"  Ann Owens

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 14 eggs-that's right 14!
  • 3/4 lb butter
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder to EACH cup of flour (14 tsp)
  • 1 3/4 tablespoons salt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla
 

Method

Sift dry ingredients together, and add sugar.

Beat eggs with vanilla and add to mixture.
