In a food processor, combine 2 cups of grated cheese, 1/3 cup of yuca flour, 1/4 cup of corn flour, 1 tbsp of sugar, 3/4 tsp of salt, and 1 egg.

Process the mixture for 1 minute.

Make balls from the mixture.

Heat oil to about 325°F.

Place the balls in the oil; they will float and turn on their own after 30 seconds.

Give the balls enough space in the pot; about 10 buñuelos can fit.

Once they rise, reduce the heat to about 300°F.

Fry the buñuelos for 5 to 7 minutes.
