Hi- Had tasted some wonderful lemon rosquillas while on a visit to Spain- they were really light, delicate and flavorful! Does anyone have a recipe to share?
:eek:

4 eggs
250 g sugar
2 lemons, zest of
1 kg self raising flour
3 tablespoons anise-flavored liqueur
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons anise seeds
1 1/2 cups sugar, for coating, approx
light oil, 1 1/2 liters, mostly for frying, some for dough

# Heat oil in a deep pan and add rind of 2 lemons.
# Cook until browned.
# Place aniseeds in a small sieve and fry in the same oil.
# Set aside and drain.
# Allow oil to cool.
# 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.
# Heat the oil again and fry doughnuts until browned.
# Drain and roll in sugar.
