Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 c water
1/2 c milk
5 Tbsp pure olive oil (plus more for deep-frying)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp grated lemon zest
1 c all purpose flour
4 large eggs
confectioner's sugar, for dusting
SYRUP:
1/2 c water
1/2 c honey
1 c sugar
1 Tbsp lemon juice
ground cinnamon, to dust as garnish, optional

Steps:

  • 1. In a saucepan, bring the water, milk, 5 tablespoons oil, salt, and lemon zest to a boil. Add the flour all at once, lower the heat, and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until dough leaves the sides of the pan and forms a smooth ball. Cook, turning the dough frequently for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  • 2. In a food processor, process dough 20 seconds. Add eggs and process 30 seconds.
  • 3. Heat about 1 inch oil in a large skillet or electric fryer to 370 F.
  • 4. Drop dough by teaspoons into hot oil. The dough should puff, forming fritters and becoming golden and hollow inside.
  • 5. Using a slotted spoon remove fritters to paper towels to drain and cool. Dust with sugar.
  • 6. Syrup (optional) In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup honey, 1 cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Spoon the syrup over the fritters, then sprinkle them with cinnamon.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my buñuelos didn't turn out at all. They were more like pancakes than fritters.

These buñuelos were a waste of time. They were greasy and bland.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my buñuelos turned out really dense. They were still edible, but they weren't very good.

I've made buñuelos many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The dough was easy to work with and the buñuelos fried up beautifully. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, just like they should be.
