- Preparation: 45 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Makes: 1 serving (80.6 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian, Dairy-free
- Contains: alcohol, gluten, honey, sesame, sulphite
Ingredients
- 35 g Flour, all-purpose
- 20 g Olive oil
- 10 g Wine, white
- 0.5 g Anise seed
- 2 g Sesame seeds
- 0.5 g Orange zest
- 12 g Honey
- 0.3 g Cinnamon
- 0.3 g Salt
Method
- Warm half the olive oil with the anise seed until fragrant, then let it cool slightly.
- Mix the flavoured oil with the flour, white wine, orange zest and salt into a smooth, firm dough; knead briefly and rest for 20 minutes.
- Roll the dough thin and cut into small squares or rounds; fold each into a simple knot or triangle, pressing sesame seeds onto one side.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a small pan to 170°C (340°F) and fry the pestiños in batches for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
- Drain on paper towels, then while still warm dip or drizzle them generously with the honey.
- Dust lightly with the cinnamon before serving; pestiños keep well for several days in a tin. Makes 1 serving (about 3 pieces); multiply the ingredients by 8 for a full batch.
