Rosquillas recipe

4 ratings

These traditional Spanish doughnuts don’t use yeast, so they are more dense and cake-like in consistency. Drizzled with dark chocolate and dusted with icing sugar, they make an impressive and indulgent afternoon tea or dessert. See method

Method

In a bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar and lemon zest. Gradually mix in the milk, 50ml sunflower oil, the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and star anise (if using), until well combined.
Put the remaining oil into a large frying pan and set over a medium heat.
Lightly oil your hands, then take 1 heaped tablespoon of the dough at a time and roll it into a ball. Gently press a hole through the centre with your fingers, and shape into a ring.
Once the oil is hot, but not smoking, add a few doughnut rings to the pan. Fry for 1-2 mins on each side, until golden brown. Drain, transfer to kitchen paper and allow to cool slightly. Repeat until you have used up all of the dough.
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Dust the doughnuts with icing sugar and drizzle over the chocolate.
