Preparation
- Step 1
Combine raisins and wine, and set aside.
- Step 2
Proof the yeast by dissolving it with sugar and water in a large bowl. When it becomes foamy, after about 5 minutes, add flour, egg and anise seeds and mix well. Cover and allow to rise for 30 minutes.
- Step 3
Add raisins and pine nuts, cover, and allow dough to rise 1 hour longer.
- Step 4
Heat oil for deep frying in a skillet, wok or electric fryer. Oil should be maintained at 375 degrees.
- Step 5
Using 2 teaspoons held together, drop dollops of the batter into the hot oil. Dipping teaspoons in cold water will facilitate this. Allow fritters to brown on one side, and then turn to brown other side. Do not crowd fritters in the pan. As they are done, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to absorbent paper.
- Step 6
Serve fritters while they are still warm, with honey syrup spooned over or dusted with confectioners' sugar.
