Buñuelos

Cultural Context

Buñuelos are a traditional Mexican dessert often enjoyed during festive occasions, particularly during Christmas and the Day of the Dead. They are deep-fried dough balls that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, typically dusted with sugar and cinnamon. Variations exist across Latin America, reflecting local ingredients and customs. In Mexico, they are commonly served with syrup or as a sweet treat during celebrations, symbolizing joy and community.

1

Mix 1 cup of sugar and 1.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon together in a bowl.

2

Take one raw instant tortilla and place it on a clean counter.

3

Use a glass cup to press down on the tortilla and cut it into a smaller circle, turning the cup slightly as you press.

4

Repeat the pressing process until all tortillas are cut into small circles.

5

Heat oil in a deep pan until hot, ensuring it is ready for frying.

6

Carefully add no more than three tortilla circles at a time into the hot oil.

7

Fry the tortilla circles until they are a nice golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, pressing them gently with tongs if they swell too much.

8

Remove the fried tortilla circles and drain excess grease.

9

Immediately place the fried tortillas into the bowl with the sugar and cinnamon mixture, shaking to coat them evenly.

10

For leftover tortilla scraps, fry them in the same oil until golden brown, then drain and add 2 tablespoons of melted butter and 1 teaspoon of honey, mixing with sugar before serving.
