Ingredients

Bunuelos:-

2 cups all- purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 Tblsp granulated sugar

1 large egg - beaten

1/2 cup milk

2 Tblsp butter - melted

Oil for frying

Granulated sugar for dusting

Syrup:-

1 1/3 cups light brown sugar

3 cups water

1 inch piece cinnamon stick

1 clove

Directions

Make syrup first.

Syrup:-

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan

Heat, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved

Simmer until the mixture has reduced to a light syrup

Remove & discard the spices

Keep warm while you make the bunuelos or make ahead & warm when bunuelos are ready

Bunuelos:-

Sift the flour, salt & baking powder into a bowl

Stir in the sugar

In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs & the milk together until well blended

Gradually stir in the dry ingredients

Beat in the melted butter to make a soft dough

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board & knead it until it is smooth & elastic

Divide the dough into 18 equal pieces

Shape into balls & with your hands, flatten into discs about 3/4 inches thick

Use the floured handle of a wooden spoon to poke a hole in the center of each bunuelo

Pour oil into a deep frying pan or use a deep fryer & heat to 375 degrees

Fry the bunuelos in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the pan, until they are puffy & golden brown on both sides

Lift out with a slotted spoon & drain on paper towels

Dust the warm bunuelos with sugar & serve with the syrup
