Answer 1

Rosquillos de Vino - Wine Ring Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup white wine 1 cup sugar 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup vegetable shortening 3 tsp baking powder 2 tbsp anise extract 6 cups flour granulated sugar for topping

Preparation: (This recipe yields 2-3 dozen small rings.)

Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.

Using a hand mixer, combine sugar, vegetable oil, vegetable shortening and baking powder together in a large mixing bowl. Add white wine and anise extract and mix well. Add flour a cup at a time. Mixture will seem dry or crumbly. You may want to use your hand to mix together the dough as you add the last 2 cups of flour.

Take out a small amount of dough and roll into a rope about 1/3” thick on an un-floured cutting board. Cut into pieces about 4 inches long and join the two ends to form a doughnut shape or ring.

Carefully place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake 15-18 minutes or until they become a golden color. Be careful not to burn the bottoms!

Let cool about 10 minutes, so the cookies do not fall apart as you lift them off with a spatula. While still warm, place in sugar to coat the tops.

Wow, Annie, thank you so much! - pmikan-pam, Jun 6, 2012

2 1/2 tablespoons white sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 quarts oil for frying

1/2 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1.In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in flour until mixture forms a ball.

2.Heat oil for frying in deep-fryer or deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Pipe strips of dough into hot oil using a pastry bag. Fry until golden; drain on paper towels.

3.Combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Roll drained churros in cinnamon and sugar mixture.
