Garullas

Garullas are delightful traditional Spanish pastries that encapsulate the essence of Spanish culture in every bite. These soft, anise-scented treats are fried to golden perfection, offering a satisfying crunch on the outside while remaining tender and fragrant on the inside. Originating from the sun-kissed regions of Spain, garullas have been enjoyed for generations, often served during festive occasions and family gatherings. Their unique flavor profile, thanks to the aromatic anise seeds, makes them a perfect companion for coffee or tea.

Serves 10

Ingredients

All-purpose flour
2 cups
Granulated sugar
1/2 cup
Anise seeds
2 teaspoons
Warm water
1/2 cup
Olive oil
for frying

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and anise seeds. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  2. Gradually add the warm water to the dry mixture, stirring continuously until a dough begins to form.
  3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  4. Divide the dough into small pieces (about the size of a golf ball) and roll each piece into a ball using your palms.
  5. In a large frying pan, heat enough olive oil over medium heat to submerge the dough balls halfway.
  6. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the dough balls to the pan. Fry them in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
  7. Using a slotted spoon, remove the garullas from the pan and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  8. Allow the garullas to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.

Tips

  • 💡 For a twist, try adding a teaspoon of cinnamon to the dough for an extra layer of flavor.
  • 💡 Serve garullas with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.
  • 💡 These can also be enjoyed with a side of chocolate sauce or a fruit compote for dipping.
