Cuentitas
Cuentitas are small, fried dough balls, often served as a sweet treat or snack. They are typically made from a simple flour and water dough, seasoned with anise, and then deep-fried until golden brown. They can be enjoyed plain or dusted with sugar.
🧂 Składniki
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Water(approximately, may need more or less)
- 1 tsp Anise seeds
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 3 cups Vegetable oil(for frying)
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar(for dusting (optional))
👨🍳 Instrukcje
- 1
In a medium bowl, combine flour, anise seeds, and salt.
- 2
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, mixing until a firm dough forms. Knead for a few minutes until smooth.
- 3
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Pinch off small pieces of dough and roll them into small balls or short ropes, about 1/2 inch in diameter.
- 5
Carefully drop the dough pieces into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.

Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffed up. Use a slotted spoon to remove cuentitas from the oil.

Drain on paper towels. If desired, dust with granulated sugar while still warm.
