# Whisk eggs until creamy and fluffy.
# Slowly add sugar, lemon rind and aniseeds, liquor.
# Take four tablespoons of the oil used to fry lemon rind and aniseeds and add to mixture.
# Add flour and baking powder bit by bit, mixing well each time to make a dough.
# Knead dough on a floured surface and make donut shapes by taking a large spoonful of dough and rolling it between hands and joining well to make donut shape.
