    The dough is very sticky and it will definitely not roll into the snake to shape. Can I add more flour or chill?

    It is supposed to be sticky, you have to dust the working surface with flower or grease it with oil or butter.

    Thank you Paula for sharing your recipe! It was super easy to follow and make... I got about 6dz cookies and I can't wait to share with my family.... my mom passed away when I was young and so I am always trying to create Portugal memories for my kids and my nephews and now my grandson. They are delicious!

    Is this recipe using lemon juice or lemon extract? If lemon juice won’t it be bitter? Thank you in advance.

    My grandmother would make these every Christmas ( yes, definitely with sugar and a slight anise flavor,tied into a knot shape)they were very crunchy so that they would hold up well for dunking!Very simple and good!

    Hey Eddy, Searching for Portuguese Sweet bread recipes and found all your Portuguese recipes along with what I was looking for. My husband is from Azores immigrated to Canada at age of 10. With family members passing on, I am really missing all the good things that would always be made during the holidays. Are you familiar with the type of biscotto which is not sweet. It has another name I believe it is or sounds like Rohillas or something like that. Looks like the sweet biscotto but is has no sugar. I had the recipe given to me and I recall the recipe using lard instead of butter. My husband family is originally from Graciosa perhaps it is something that was made in this island as I see biscoittos all the time at Portuguese bakeries but not the ones I am talking about. Thanks for reading my email, if you know what I'm referring to please let me know. Happy New Year and all the best in 2022!!

    Hi Jena, thank you for the new year's well wishes, I hope the same to you and family. This is the only thing I can think of, but it does have sugar, you can always leave the sugar out and add a little more flour: https://portugueserecipes.ca/recipe/10/10/Gorete-s-Portuguese-Dry-Rings-Rosquilbas-Secas-Recipe, are these it?
