Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup EVOO
  • 1 cup anise liquor
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder You can add a bit more if you want them to be fluffier.
  • 2-3 cups flour My mom always says "as much as it takes". That means that you should keep adding flour until you get a play-doh like consistency.
  • 1.5 cups vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  • Beat the eggs and sugar together.
    Eggs, baking powder, a brown bowl, olive oil, a measuring cup on a countertop.
  • Add the cup of anise liquor and the cup of EVOO and mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the flour and the baking powder.
  • Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
  • Keep adding flour until you have a dough you can work and shape.
  • Roll them in little long cylinders that you can tie to form rings.
  • Heat the vegetable oil, and when it is hot, fry the rosquillas in it. After one minute, turn them so they are evenly cooked.
  • Place them in a plate lined with paper towels to soak the excess oil.
  • Enjoy!
