Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a medium-sized bowl, combine sugar, oil, and wine, mixing until thoroughly combined. 🍷 |
| 2 | Stir in 2 cups of flour and baking powder until well incorporated into the wet mixture. |
| 3 | Gradually add 3-4 cups more flour, mixing slowly until the dough pulls away from the bowl and holds its shape. |
| 4 | Pinch off small pieces of dough and roll them into logs about the thickness of your finger and 3-4 inches long. Shape them into rings and place them on a baking sheet. |
| 5 | Once the baking sheet is full, brush the tops of the cookies with the beaten egg mixture. |
| 6 | Bake the biscuits at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown. |
| 7 | Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. 🍪 |
| 8 | Don’t be alarmed by the color of the dough—it may appear gray with a pink blush, but that’s perfectly normal! |
