These delicious Spanish doughnuts are light, fluffy, and dusted with sugar for an extra crunch of sweetness to finish. The dough is very simple to prepare and doesn’t require yeast like most other doughnuts; simply rest, shape, and fry. We have added two teaspoons of anise extract, but the amount can be reduced to one teaspoon depending on your personal taste.
