Rosquillas

Rosquillas are traditional Spanish deep-fried donuts with a fluffy texture and a hole in the center. They are usually prepared during the Holy Week celebrations. Although there are many different types of rosquillas, the classic ones are made with a combination of eggs, sugar, milk, oil, lemon zest, flour, baking powder, and anisette, which gives these tasty donuts a distinct flavor.

Another traditional type of rosquilla is made with sweet muscat wine (moscatel), and these donuts are called rosquillas de vino. Rosquillas are typically served as a sweet snack after being deep-fried and topped with cinnamon sugar.

Interestingly, in Honduras, rosquillas are baked rather than deep-fried, and they are made with corn masa and curd cheese.
