Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl.

Add 1 cup of light brown sugar to the beaten eggs and mix well.

Add 10 drops of aniseed essence to the mixture and mix.

Add the zest of 1 lemon to the mixture and mix.

Add 1/2 cup of melted creamed butter to the mixture and mix until creamy.

In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of corn flour with 1 tablespoon of baking powder and mix.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet mixture until a dough forms, using only as much flour as needed.

Pinch a bit of dough and roll it into a sausage shape, then join the ends to form a ring.

Ensure the rings are thinner than donuts as they will expand when fried.

Heat oil in a pan until it's not too hot, filling the pan halfway with oil for deep frying.

Drop the shaped rosquillas into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, turning them over as needed.

Remove any that have separated and place them on absorbent paper to drain excess oil.

Sprinkle the fried rosquillas with icing sugar before serving.
