Rosquillas de Anís

Rosquillas de Anís are delightful anise-flavored doughnuts that are traditionally enjoyed in Spain. These light and crispy treats are perfect for a sweet snack or dessert, offering a unique flavor profile that is both aromatic and satisfying.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 150 grams
• Granulated sugar - 50 grams
• Baking powder - 5 grams
• Salt - 1 gram
• Anise seeds - 5 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Vegetable oil - 30 milliliters (for dough) + extra for frying
• Water - 30 milliliters
• Powdered sugar - for dusting

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and anise seeds, mixing until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, then add the vegetable oil and water, mixing until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead gently for a few minutes until smooth.
4. Roll small portions of the dough into ropes about 1 cm thick and shape them into rings, pressing the ends together to seal.
5. In a deep frying pan, heat enough vegetable oil to submerge the doughnuts over medium heat.
6. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the rings in batches, frying until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
7. Remove the fried rosquillas with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
8. Allow to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
