BUNUELOS COLOMBIANOS (COLOMBIAN CHEESE FRITTERS) RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Crumble or grate the two cheeses together, making sure that they are grated very finely.
• Mix the cheese, cornstarch, yuca or tapioca starch, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, eggs, and butter in a large bowl until well-blended.
• Knead the dough until it is smooth. It will be soft but should not be sticky and firm enough to shape into balls. Add more cornstarch if the dough seems too wet. If the dough seems too dry or crumbly, add a small amount of milk (1 to 2 teaspoons at a time) until it is smooth.
• Take about 2 tablespoons of dough into the palms of your hands and shape the dough into a very smooth ball.
• Heat several inches of oil in a heavy pot to 325 F.
• Add the bunuelos, a few at a time, and cook. They will sink to the bottom, then rise and expand.
• Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or longer if needed, turning them occasionally until they are golden brown.
• Drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired
• Serve warm or at room temperature.
