SPANISH BUñUELOS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the milk, cinnamon stick, lemon zest and butter. Bring to the boil.
• Once the mixture is boiling, carefully remove the cinnamon stick and add the flour and baking powder.
• Stir constantly for 5 minutes, keeping the saucepan on the heat.
• Remove from heat, and add the eggs one at a time, beating vigorously.
• When the dough is smooth (you can use a hand mixer if necessary), sit it aside in the saucepan for about an hour.
• Set a large frying pan on medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil to a depth of about 1.5 inches.
• When the oil is hot enough to fry with, start to carefully drop rough spoonfuls of the dough into the pan. Don't put too many in at one time, keep enough space so that the balls of dough remain separate.
• When they start to turn a tasty golden brown, flip them over. Once they're cooked, they should go golden and start to float in the oil.
• Remove the buñuelos from the pan one at a time using a slotted spoon, and place on paper towels.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve straight away!
• Optional: You can also serve the buñuelos with thick dark drinking chocolate on the side. There are plenty of different brands and sweetness levels to choose from, so choose the one you prefer most!

BUNUELOS

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine eggs with 1/4 cup sugar and beat until thick and lemon-colored. Add the oil. Combine separately 1-1/2 cups of the flour, the baking powder and the salt. Gradually add this to the egg mixture and beat well.
• Turn dough out onto a floured board (use remaining 1/2 cup flour) and knead thoroughly until dough is smooth.
• Shape dough into sixteen balls. Roll each one into a circle about 5 inches in diameter. Let stand uncovered on waxed paper for about 10 minutes.
• Heat oil in a deep fry pan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry circles until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Store airtight.
