Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.25 cups Honey or syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Whisk to combine.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg, then whisk in the milk and melted butter.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour.
Dust a clean surface with flour and knead the dough lightly for 1-2 minutes until it becomes soft and pliable.
Divide the dough into small, equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball slightly with your hands or a rolling pin to form discs about 3 inches wide.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully drop 2-3 dough discs into the hot oil at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crisp.
Transfer the fried bunelos to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar and cinnamon. While the bunelos are still warm, dust them generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Serve warm, optionally drizzling with honey or syrup for added sweetness. Enjoy!
