Rosquillas recipe
These traditional Spanish doughnuts don’t use yeast, so they are more dense and cake-like in consistency. Drizzled with dark chocolate and dusted with icing sugar, they make an impressive and indulgent afternoon tea or dessert.

Method
- In a bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar and lemon zest. Gradually mix in the milk, 50ml sunflower oil, the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and star anise (if using), until well combined.
- Put the remaining oil into a large frying pan and set over a medium heat.
- Lightly oil your hands, then take 1 heaped tablespoon of the dough at a time and roll it into a ball. Gently press a hole through the centre with your fingers, and shape into a ring.
- Once the oil is hot, but not smoking, add a few doughnut rings to the pan. Fry for 1-2 mins on each side, until golden brown. Drain, transfer to kitchen paper and allow to cool slightly. Repeat until you have used up all of the dough.
- Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Dust the doughnuts with icing sugar and drizzle over the chocolate.
