TOPPING

In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add milk, butter, sugar, eggs, salt, aniseed and 3 cups of flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured board; knead until smooth and elastic about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch dough down; roll into a 16x9" rectangle. Cut into three 16x3" pieces.

Cut each piece into sixteen 3x1" strips. Twist each strip; place 1-½" apart on greased baking sheets Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Combine topping ingredients; brush over twists. Bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until browned. Cool on wire racks. Yield: 4 dozen.
