Koulouria (Buttery Not Eggy)

Chef’s Note

“Much prefer the taste of these Greek easter biscuits – they have fewer eggs than most of the ones my husband’s family make but as a non-Greek I prefer the higher butter content. Added bonus is they are easier to shape also. Prep time includes 1 hour resting of dough. The shaping of the individual biscuits is quite time consuming. Yield is 65 biscuits – dough weighed at 26gms/biscuit”
