Add 1/2 cup of vegetable shortening and mix until it resembles wet sand.

Add 2 tablespoons of vanilla and 1 egg, then mix.

Slowly add 1 cup of Mexican orange Fanta while mixing until there is no dry flour.

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until soft.

Divide the dough into balls and cover with parchment paper and plastic wrap, allowing it to rest for 20 minutes.

Roll out each ball of dough as thin as possible, stretching it if necessary.

Allow the rolled dough to air dry for 15-20 minutes on each side.

Poke the dough with a fork before frying.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, filling it halfway.

Fry each buñuelo for about 1 minute on each side until golden brown.

Remove from oil and drain excess oil, then coat with cinnamon sugar.
