Ingredients

2 cups water
1 lb. flour
2 whole eggs
1 egg yolk
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp anisette
9 oz. lard
9 oz. piloncillo -raw sugar


Boil one tablespoon anisette in a cup of water and leave to cool. Mix and
sift the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix in the eggs, the yolk and the
anisette in water, as required, and knead until the dough stiffens. Form
into small balls and roll out on a floured board until very thin. Continue
flattening by hand on a napkin and place on a floured table. Heat the lard
..Fry one by one in the lard.

Heat the piloncillo in one cup of water with the remaining tablespoon of

them.
