Ingredients:
Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, salt, and sugar. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Next, add in the melted butter, milk, water, and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms.
Step 2: Knead the dough
Once the dough is formed, transfer it to a floured surface and knead it for 5-7 minutes. This will help develop the gluten in the dough and make it easier to roll out.
Step 3: Roll out the dough
Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or a cup to cut out circles from the dough.
Step 4: Fry the bunuelos
In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the bunuelos in the skillet. Fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: Coat with cinnamon sugar
While the bunuelos are still hot, toss them in the cinnamon sugar coating until they are fully coated.
Step 6: Serve and enjoy!
Serve the bunuelos warm and enjoy them with a cup of hot chocolate or your favorite ice cream. These delicious pastries are perfect for any occasion and are sure to be a hit with family and friends.
