ingredients
- 250 g unbleached flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 150 g cornstarch
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 75 g sugar
- 7 tablespoons milk
- 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons anisette
directions
- Shift the flour, corn starch and baking powder, add salt and combine.
- In a separate bowl combine sugar with wet ingredients and citrus zest.
- Slowly add flour mix to wet ingredients, knead it until just well combined. Add any extra flour that you need so it does not stick to your hands.
- Grease a bowl and cover with a towel, and let it rest for half hour.
- Make sure that dough is not sticky, You can either roll it and cut the donuts but I prefer them the old fashion rustic way: take a piece of the dough roll it with your hand to make a log and then put the ends together and make a little donut with it. Great time for kids to help you rolling them!
- Fry them on a deep skillet at 350 degrees. (I prefer canola oil).
- Toppings: Basque traditional: powder sugar. But you can put cinammon sugar, chocolate -- .
