Garullas

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.
