Pestiños

Ingredients

• 500 g Wheat flour
• 125 ml Olive oil
• 125 ml White wine
• 1 EL Anise seeds
• 1 Lemon peel (organic)
• Eine Prise Salt
• 500 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 200 g Honey
• 50 ml Water

Instructions

1. In a pan, heat the olive oil with the lemon peel and anise seeds until fragrant (do not brown). Let cool and remove the lemon peel.
2. In a large bowl, mix the flour with salt. Add the flavored olive oil and white wine and knead everything into a smooth dough. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
3. Roll out the dough very thinly on a floured surface (about 1-2 mm thick).
4. Cut the dough into squares (about 5x5 cm). Gently pinch each square in the middle to form a bow shape.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 170-180°C. Fry the Pestiños in batches until golden brown (about 1-2 minutes per side).
6. Drain the fried Pestiños on paper towels.
7. In a small saucepan, heat the honey with water until the honey is liquid. Briefly dip the Pestiños in the warm honey syrup, then let them drain on a wire rack.
8. Serve once slightly cooled.
