How to Make Italian Wine Biscuits

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: melted butter, wine, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  6. Roll the dough into a log about 1 inch in diameter.
  7. Cut the log into 1-inch pieces.
  8. Roll each piece between your palms to form a small, slightly elongated biscuit.
  9. Gently knot each biscuit, creating a pretzel-like shape (optional).
  10. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
  11. Brush the tops of the biscuits with milk or egg yolk for a golden brown finish.
  12. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  13. Let the biscuits cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
