  3. Add three eggs and mix well until all the flour is absorbed into the dough.
  4. Now mix in the remaining ingredients, distributing them well in the dough.
  5. Flour a flat surface and place dough on it .
  6. Divide the dough in half.
  7. Take first dough, knead lightly and roll into baton. Place it on baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  8. Repeat the procedure for the second dough and place at least three inches apart from the other baton on the baking tray.
  9. Bake in fan over at 150 degrees or non-fan oven at 170 degrees for between 20 - 25 minutes or until slightly soft but firm to the touch.
