Borrachuelos
Borrachuelos are traditional Spanish pastries that are absolutely delicious! Borrachuelos are made by frying a dough that is usually flavored with anise or wine, and then they are coated in sugar. Some variations may even include fillings like sweet potato or pumpkin.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon anise seeds (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 lemon zest
- Pinch salt
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, anise seeds (if using), ground cinnamon, lemon zest, and salt. Mix well.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the olive oil and white wine.
- Mix everything together until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too dry, you can add a bit more wine or water, a tablespoon at a time.
- Once the dough is ready, cover it with a kitchen towel and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
- After the dough has rested, heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to about 350°F (175°C).
- Take small portions of the dough and roll them into thin, elongated shapes, similar to small cigars or tubes.
- Carefully place a few of the rolled dough pieces into the hot oil and fry them until they turn golden brown, turning them gently to fry evenly. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Once fried, remove the borrachuelos from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Repeat the frying process with the remaining dough, ensuring the oil temperature remains consistent.
- Once all the borrachuelos are fried and have cooled slightly, dust them generously with powdered sugar.
- Serve your homemade borrachuelos and enjoy!
