Paximade is a traditional Greek breakfast pastry that has been enjoyed for generations. It is similar to a sweet muffin in taste and texture, but with a hint of licorice-like flavor from the anise seed. This pastry is usually eaten with a cup of coffee or tea in the morning, but can also be enjoyed as a snack at any time of day. It is popular in Greece and other Mediterranean countries, where it is often served at festivals and other celebrations.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.	In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and anise seed.
3.	In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and creamy.
4.	Add eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition.
5.	Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
6.	Add milk and mix until a soft dough is formed.
7.	Drop dough by spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
