Preparation:
Separate egg yolks from egg whites and beat each separately. Once yolks are firm, mix yolks with olive oil. Next, place flour mixed with baking soda on a board and make a well. Add yolk mixture and whites a little at a time. Blend well and knead for about 10-15 minutes. Cut a piece of dough and roll into a pencil shape, 1/4" round by 6" long. Form into a circle and pinch the ends. Shape all the dough and place on a cloth covered surface. Bring a large pot of water to a slow boil. Drop a few Taralli in the water at a time. (Do not crowd). Remove immediately as they surface. Place on a cloth and let dry 1 to 2 hours. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Place Taralli on a cookie sheet and bake 20 minutes until they have raised and are golden in color.
Icing:
Mix confectioners sugar, lemon juice and some water to form an icing. Frost Taralli while still warm.
