Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) and line two 13x18x1 baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine yuca starch, dry milk, salt, and baking powder. Add anise seeds and stir to distribute evenly.

Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and add softened butter and eggs. Mix until combined and creamy.

Slowly incorporate the dry mixture into the wet mixture until a crumbly dough forms. Mix in the cheese until well integrated.

Gradually add buttermilk to the mixture until a compact and moist dough forms. Knead until smooth and compact, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Shape the dough into desired forms (rings or logs) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake until lightly golden and puffed up, about 12-15 minutes.
