Bunuelos Dough

Raspberry Filling

Dulce De Leche

Lemon Sorbet

Method

Bunuelos Dough

  1. 1

    Make the dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Add wet ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth dough forms.

  3. 3

    Let it rest

    Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

Raspberry Filling

  1. 4

    Prepare the filling

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Dulce De Leche

  1. 5

    Make Dulce De Leche

    To make dulce de leche, place a can of sweetened condensed milk in a pot of simmering water and cook for 2-3 hours, ensuring the can is always submerged in water. Once done, let it cool before using.

Lemon Sorbet

  1. 6

    Make the sorbet

    In a saucepan, combine water and sugar over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and add fresh lemon juice. Cool the mixture and then pour it into an ice cream maker, churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a sorbet consistency. Freeze until ready to serve.

Frying Bunuelos

  1. 7

    Fry the bunuelos

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, take small portions of dough and flatten them slightly. Fry each bunuelos until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 8

    Fill the bunuelos

    Once cooled, use a piping bag to fill each bunuelos with raspberry filling and drizzle with dulce de leche before serving.
