Procedures for all recipes Toast the  almonds until golden, then chop
by hand into 1/4 inch chunks. Reduce  oven heat to 325* degrees* Cream
the butter until light, add the  sugar & beat till smooth & creamy.
Beat in eggs until the mixture is  smooth. Add the (orange, anise,
lemon) specific ingredients. Sift in  the flour, baking powder & salt,
beat until just mixed. Stir in the  almonds. On a floured board, divide
the dough in half & roll each  half into a long roll about 1 1/2 inches
in diameter & about 10  inches long. Set the rolls on a baking sheet at
least 3 inches apart,  bake in the top third of the oven (325) for
about 25 minutes, or  until they are set & lightly browned on top. Cool
the rolls for 5  minutes or so, then slice diagonally into 1/2 inch
thick slices. Lay  the slices flat on the baking sheet & return to the
oven for another  10 minutes. Turn the slices over & bake for another
10 minutes. Cool  on a rack, and keep in a tightly covered tin - they
keep for months.  File
