Aniseed and honey Pestinos from Estremadura
Flavors of Extremadura
Total time: 30 to 60 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 kg / 2 pounds flour
- 250 ml / 1 cup water
- 500 ml / 2 cups olive oil
- a few bay leaves
- zest of half an orange
Finishing
- honey diluted in water
Method
  1. Bring the water to a boil with the bay leaves, a pinch of aniseed and the orange zest.
  2. Heat the oil in a skillet and add a little aniseed. Infuse off the heat for a few minutes. 
  3. Strain the water and oil and pour them into a large bowl.
  4. Mix in the flour to form a smooth supple dough.
  5. Roll the dough out very thinly. Cut into rectangles; fold the corners over into the centre; press to seal to prevent the pestinos from opening up when cooked. 
  6. Fry in a good quantity of hot oil. Drain.
  7. Immediately dip the pestinos into the honey dissolved in a little water.
