Ingredients

  • Instructions:
    In a glass container, sift the flour and add the rest of the ingredients. Mix everything well using a whisk until there are no lumps.
    Cover the container with its plastic lid or with plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour. If you want to speed it up, you can put the container in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator for 20 minutes, and you're done.
    In a pot, heat enough oil to cover the buñuelo mold. Heat the oil on low heat for about 5 minutes.
    Once this time has passed, remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Take the buñuelo mold out of the oil and dip it into the mixture without covering the mold completely. Then, carefully place it into the hot oil. After about 3 seconds, the buñuelo should detach from the mold, and you can continue making more.
    When there is no more space, always leave the mold in the hot oil to keep it warm.
    Once the buñuelos are golden brown on one side, flip them over and allow the other side to brown.
    When they're done, remove them from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
    Continue making the rest of the buñuelos.
    If the mixture sticks to the mold, I recommend putting the mixture pot back in the freezer for another 10 minutes. Also, leave the buñuelo mold in the hot oil and lower the heat so the oil doesn’t burn.
    Once you’ve finished making the buñuelos, mix the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Then, dip each buñuelo into the mixture, but only one side. You don’t need to coat both sides, just one.
    Now your buñuelos are ready to eat! To keep them fresh longer, store them in a container with a lid and always keep them covered so they don't get soggy.
