Let's Get Started
- Combine the mashed cassava and sweet potatoes in a large bowl.
- Add the eggs, sugar, and anise seeds and mix well.
- Gradually add the flour, kneading the dough until it is smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each piece into a rope. Shape the ropes into figure eights.
- Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375°F.
- Fry the buñuelos in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

- Drizzle the syrup over the buñuelos and serve warm.
