At this time of the year, you have the opportunity to taste the typical fritters sold in Lent, the period covering 40 days before Easter in the catholic calendar. They are made with flour, milk, sugar, eggs and then fried in oil. You will find them in bakeries and pastry shops –often on Fridays only-: “wind” fritters (bunyols de vent) are small hollow balls (sometimes stuffed with cream) while those shaped as small donuts have a thicker consistency, and include some aniseed and/or anisette in the recipe.
