Buñuelos Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

2. 2

   Combine Wet Ingredients

   In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

3. 3

   Combine Mixtures

   Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

4. 4

   Heat Oil

   In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry Buñuelos

   Using a spoon, drop small portions of the batter (about 1/4 cup each) into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until they are golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes.

6. 6

   Drain and Cool

   Remove the buñuelos from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

7. 7

   Prepare Cinnamon Sugar

   In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of sugar with 1-2 teaspoons of cinnamon.

8. 8

   Coat Buñuelos

   While still warm, toss the buñuelos in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.

9. 9

   Serve

   Serve the buñuelos warm as a delightful snack or dessert.
