This recipe video shows how to make delicious Easter donuts. The recipe starts by flavoring oil with orange peel and then mixing together eggs, sugar, anise, and milk. The mixture is then combined with flour, yeast, and oil to create a dough. After resting the dough for 15 minutes, the donuts are formed into balls and then stretched to create a hole in the center. The donuts are then fried in oil until golden brown and cooled on paper towels. Once cool, the donuts are coated in a sweet syrup made with water, sugar, honey, cinnamon, and anise, and then rolled in sugar. The donuts are then left to rest for 45 minutes to absorb the syrup before being served. The final result is a tender, juicy, and flavorful donut with a delicious texture and a hint of orange and anise.
