2. Mix well and transfer to a pastry bag.
3. Set aside.
4. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.
5. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk and add the sugar, oil, wine, and aniseed.
6. Mix well, then gradually add the flour and mix and knead to form a smooth, soft dough.
7. Roll out to the thickness of a finger, and cut into 1-inch lengths about the width of a finger.
8. Once the water is boiling, add the dough lengths to the water and boil until they are firm and white.
