Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. In another bowl, whisk eggs and milk. Gradually add wet to dry, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Shape the Bunuelos: Divide dough into 1.5-inch balls. Roll each ball into a very thin 4-5 inch circular disc on a lightly floured surface.
- Fry Bunuelos: Heat 2-3 inches of oil in a heavy pot to 350-375°F (175-190°C). Fry bunuelos one or two at a time for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and puffed.
- Sprinkle and Serve: Remove from oil and place on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain. In a shallow dish, combine sugar and cinnamon. While bunuelos are still warm, dredge generously in the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Serve immediately.
