Waiting for a cook
Algeria
Croquets are Algeria's everyday biscuits: long bars of a simple egg, sugar and oil dough, baked in logs, brushed with coffee-and-milk glaze, scored with a fork and cut into fingers while still warm so they set hard and crunchy. Raisins, walnuts, peanuts or almonds go into the dough. They are the biscuit in every tin, dunked into coffee or tea, sent to students and taken on journeys, because a batch keeps for weeks.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 10 ingredients and 7 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
