Mandocas are a traditional Venezuelan snack made from cornmeal and flavored with anise. They are similar to donuts in texture and are often enjoyed with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate. To make mandocas, you mix cornmeal, sugar, anise seeds, and salt to form a dough. The dough is then shaped into small balls and fried until they are golden brown. Mandocas are a sweet and comforting treat that are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth or enjoying as an afternoon snack.
