South of the Border Doughnuts (Bunuelos) image

The Mexicans call these bunuelos, and they're perfect for an after-siesta (or anytime) nibble. These should look like puffy fried dough balls.

Time 1h

Yield 3-3 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

2/3 cup sugar, divided
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided (or more as needed)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup milk
vegetable oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • In a shallow pan, combine 1/3 cup sugar and the cinnamon; set aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and remaining 1/3 cup sugar until creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla, blending well. Mix in 1 cup of the flour, the baking powder, and salt; mix well and blend in the milk. Add the remaining flour and mix to make a soft dough.
  • Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 1 to 2 minutes or until the dough is smooth, kneading in more flour if the dough is still too sticky to handle. With a rolling pin, roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness, flouring the surface and rolling pin lightly if the dough sticks. Cut the dough with a 2-inch round cookie cutter.
  • In a heavy skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 inches of oil over medium heat, until hot but not burning or smoking (350 degrees). Fry six 2-inch rounds at a time for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes, until puffy and golden, turning often with tongs. Drain on paper towels and toss in the sugar and cinnamon coating mix while still hot.

I loved the flavor of these buñuelos, but they were a bit too crispy for my taste. I think I might try baking them instead of frying them next time.

I was disappointed with these buñuelos. They were too dense and the cinnamon sugar coating was too thick. I won't be making these again.

These buñuelos were a bit too greasy for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I might try using a different type of oil next time.

These buñuelos were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I might try using less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of sweet foods, but these buñuelos were surprisingly good. The cinnamon sugar coating was the perfect balance of sweet and savory.
