Koulouria (Buttery)
"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 - and that is reflected in the prep time listed. Yield is 65 biscuits - dough weighed at 26gms/biscuit"
