Yours look very nice. I just made my first batch of Taralli last week using Glezer's recipe. I used fennel and anise. Are your Easter Taralli sweet? If so, what did you use as sweetener? I couldn't find many traditional "sweet" recipes though I know they exist.
I have posted a taralli recipe with pepper and fennel. These very different, they are made with eggs and are very light. They are not sweet there is no sugar in them. Great for diabetics as my husband is and I make them all the time for him. These are traditionaly made at Easter. There is a version of these where a light confectionary sugar glaze is used and the recipe is very similar. So I guess if you wanted to add the glaze you can. There are many different varieties of taralli. This is my grandmothers recipe who comes from Campagna Italy. I love the pepper and fennel taralli also. I like to add red pepper flakes instead of black pepper, another variety from Apuglia.
This looks like it may be a variation of the taralli I have been looking for. Light as air with a hint of fennel. Is there a recipe somewhere for these?
These don't have fennel. However I have several recipes for taralli on my blog. Check out the following link. It has black pepper and fennel. However you can leave out the pepper.
Patricia - I'm looking for a light / floaty taralli recipe. Does the one on your site with beer as an ingredient make these? What I want is something not sweet and not as hard or crunchy as some taralli. Thanks!
The black pepper and fennel taralli are not sweet, they are traditional a biscuit in Italy. The recipe can be made with or without pepper. You can make them just with fennel. They are light. The Easter Taralli are completely different and are boiled and then baked. They have no flavoring and are hard. However they are very light.
I hope this helps you. Guess best way to know is to try out the fennel taralli which is the flavor you are looking for and see if this is what you are thinking of.
This is a taralli typically made at Easter. It has a large amount of eggs and is very light with a hard texture. I don't know of any other taralli make specifically at Easter other then this one.
I got another hint from the bakery today when I went to pick up more taralli. They use anise oil not fennel, lots of eggs and baking soda. They used to only make these for Easter when I was a kid but they are so popular they make them all the time now.
The Easter taralli look exactly like the ones I have been trying to make. Still hoping for a recipe to be posted. Please!

I almost always use oils but they are more intense. You have to be careful not to use to much. Try this recipe and add the anise oil.
Good Luck,
