Visiting Borough Market is a basic ‘must’ if you’re in London and interested in food. There’s a stall there that sells imported Spanish goods, which is where I first saw these tortas being sold. I’ve since seen them in a few places, all sold the same way. They come individually wrapped in waxed paper and stacked up in packs of six. They’re thin, flaky and utterly addictive but also waaay pricey. Goodbye new shoes, hello tortas. Luckily for us, it’s easy to make them at home. I know some people seriously hate anise flavouring so you can leave it out if you insist, but I’ve found that most people love these with the anise.
