For best results, ensure the oil temperature remains consistent throughout the frying process. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature. Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the buñuelos; fry them in batches to maintain the oil temperature. For a richer flavor, try adding a touch of orange zest to the dough. Store leftover buñuelos in an airtight container at room temperature. They are best enjoyed within 1-2 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepFirst, gather all your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
02
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1/4 cup of sugar until the mixture becomes thick and pale yellow. (approximately 3-5 minutes)
03
StepStir in 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil until well combined.
04
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of flour, baking powder, and salt.
05
StepGradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
06
StepLightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out. Knead the dough for several minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
07
StepDivide the dough into 16 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
08
StepUsing a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a very thin circle, about 5 inches in diameter.
09
StepPlace the rolled dough circles on wax paper and let them rest, uncovered, for about 10 minutes. (10 minutes)
10
StepWhile the dough rests, prepare the cinnamon-sugar mixture by combining 1 cup of sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
11
StepHeat the oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
12
StepCarefully lower one dough circle into the hot oil and fry for about 30 seconds on each side, or until golden brown.
13
StepRemove the buñuelo from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
14
StepSprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture while still warm.
15
StepRepeat the frying and coating process with the remaining dough circles.
16
StepServe immediately while warm and crispy, or allow to cool and store in an airtight container.

Jun 23, 2025I had trouble getting the dough thin enough. Any tips? Maybe use a pasta machine?

Jun 7, 2025These were a bit too oily for my taste. Next time I'll try frying them at a slightly higher temperature.
