Buñuelos

Method

Preparing Buñuelos

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the whole milk and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

  3. 3

    Form the Dough

    Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth dough forms. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry Buñuelos

    Using a spoon, drop small balls of dough into the hot oil, frying a few at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Preparing Toppings

  1. 6

    Whip Cream

    In a chilled bowl, add the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar. Using an electric mixer, whip until soft peaks form.

  2. 7

    Prepare Berries

    Wash the seasonal berries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Serving

  1. 8

    Assemble the Dish

    Serve the warm buñuelos topped with a scoop of organic vanilla ice cream, a handful of seasonal berries, and a dollop of house-made whipped cream.
