These sweet doughnuts are perfect for an afternoon treat
Serves 24
- 4 cups flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 4 tablespoon butter (melted)
- Oil for frying
- ½ cup cinnamon/sugar mixture
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, mix the eggs and milk and incorporate into the dry ingredients. Then add the melted butter. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead till it feels silken. Meanwhile, heat the oil. Roll the dough into small golf ball-sized portions and drop into the hot oil. Once they are golden brown, remove, drain and toss in the cinnamon/sugar mixture.
Make a dozen extra, as I guarantee that every time you pass this plate of buñuelos, you will pop one in your mouth, not even considering the neighbors stopping by for a few once they smell that oh-so-familiar scent.
