In a large bowl, add 3 eggs.

If using XL eggs, add 2 instead of 3.

Add the sunflower oil, milk, and lemon zest to the eggs.

Mix well with a whisk until fully combined and no visible pieces of yolk remain.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 100 grams of sugar, and mix again.

Add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of anise seeds, and mix well.

Gradually add the flour, starting with 3 tablespoons, mixing well each time before adding more.

Add 1/2 packet of baking powder, mixing until fully integrated.

The dough will be very sticky; this is normal.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

After resting, coat your hands with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Shape the dough into rings and place them on parchment paper.

Fry the rings in hot oil, reducing the heat after adding them to avoid burning.

Fry for about 30 seconds on each side until golden brown.

Remove from oil and place on a plate with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Mix sugar with a pinch of cinnamon and coat the warm rings in this mixture.
