anise donuts

Now if we enter fully with the Christmas recipes. Today we bring a typical sweet from almost all the regions of Spain, some aniseed donuts.

A very easy recipe to prepare, without waiting times and that we can prepare in advance because it is kept in perfect condition for weeks.

Ingredients

For 12 donuts:

We put the Iberian lard in an Efficient Plus saucepan and melt it, it does not have to be completely melted but it does have to be soft. We booked.
In a mortar we crush the seeds of matalahúva. We booked.
In a bowl we have the wheat flour, we put the sugar and the seeds of matalahúva. Mix with your hands and add the anise and lard.
Knead until you get a homogeneous dough, let it rest for 30 minutes in the same bowl covered with a hot kitchen cloth.
We shape them either by making a ball that we flatten and with our finger we make the central hole or with a small ring and the back of a pastry nozzle.
Reserve in the fridge for 1 hour to cool down or 10 minutes in the freezer. We place on an Efficient Plus iron .
Baked in a preheated oven at 180ºC for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Roll in icing sugar and let cool completely before eating.
