easy- step by step bueñuelos recipe

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Whole wheat flour offers more fiber and nutrients.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

Honey is a natural sweetener with a lower glycemic index.

oil

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Coconut oil is healthier, while vegetable oil is more budget-friendly.

Gather all dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar in a bowl.

Add 2 eggs to the dry ingredients and mix.

Slowly add 2 cups of milk while mixing the batter.

In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon for topping.

Heat oil in a pan and place the mold in the oil to preheat it.

Strain the batter into another bowl to remove lumps for a smoother consistency.

Test the oil temperature by dipping a bit of batter in; if bubbles form, it's ready.

Shake off excess batter before dipping the mold into the batter, ensuring it doesn't surpass the mold's edge.

Fry the batter-coated mold in the hot oil, shaking off excess batter.

Monitor the color of the buñuelo as it fries; avoid letting it get too dark.

Once fried, let the buñuelo rest on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

If the buñuelo sticks to the mold, use a stick to gently poke the edges to release it.
