CT's Great Recipe for Colombian Buñuelos | CRISPY AND SPONGY | Easy and Cheese

cassava flour

🥗Healthier: almond flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Almond flour is lower in carbs, while all-purpose flour is more accessible.

cheese

🥗Healthier: ricotta

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Ricotta provides a lighter texture, while processed cheese is often less expensive.

Mix cassava flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, and melted butter until smooth.

Add the cheese to the egg mixture and stir until evenly distributed.

Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Shape the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.

Heat oil in a deep pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Carefully drop the dough balls into the hot oil, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding.

Fry the buñuelos until they puff up and turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally.

Remove the buñuelos from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar.
