Line a swiss roll tin (23cm × 30cm) with baking paper. beat the eggs, sugar, a pinch of salt and the vanilla until tripled in volume, about 8-10 minutes.Fold in the flour and butter in batches. Spread evenly in the tin and bake for 25 minutes. Cool in the tin, remove and peel off the paper. Cut out 12 6cm or 7cm rings using a cutter. Slice each in half lengthways and brush all over with liqueur.
