Buñuelos with Cinnamon Sugar


  • Author: Sophie Hart
  • Total Time: 90 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Description

Twelve thin fried flour rounds finished with cinnamon sugar, without syrup.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar, for dough
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Fine salt
  • 1 egg Large egg
  • 2 tablespoons Neutral oil, for dough
  • 1/2 cup Warm water
  • 3 cups Neutral frying oil
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar, for coating
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Whisk 2 cups flour, 2 tsp sugar, 1 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt. Mix in one egg and 2 tbsp neutral oil, then gradually add up to 1/2 cup warm water and knead briefly to a supple, cohesive dough. Cover and rest about thirty minutes.
  2. Divide into twelve pieces. Roll each on a lightly floured surface to a thin roughly six-inch round, keeping unrolled portions covered. Mix 1/2 cup coating sugar with 1 tsp cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
  3. Heat about three cups neutral oil in a deep wide skillet to 350°F, with enough depth for a round to float safely without crowding; adjust oil quantity for pan size and never fill a pan near its rim. Fry one round at a time about one minute per side, turning until lightly golden and crisp. Watch the thermometer between batches and drain on paper towels.
  4. While still warm, coat each drained round lightly in cinnamon sugar. Serve twelve provisional rounds. Note actual water uptake, diameter, oil temperature recovery and coating adherence in a kitchen trial.
