Buñuelos Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup water
• 3 tbsps. butter
• 1 c. plain flour, sifted
• 5  medium eggs
• oil for deep frying
• caster sugar 

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Place the water and butter in a saucepan and bring to a boil. When the butter is melted, add the flour all at once and stir until the mixture forms ball and leaves the side of the pan.
2. Remove from heat, transfer to a mixing bowl and leave to cool for 5 minutes.
3. Using an electric mixer, beat for 10 seconds before adding the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. The mixture will seem curdly at the start but will be smooth after all the eggs are added in.
4. Heat the oil in a pan. When hot, add spoonfuls of the mixture (use a small ice cream scoop) and fry until well puffed and golden. The balls will turn by itself and split as it fries but you can nudge it with a slotted spoon to fry it evenly.
5. It is done when it is light (in weight) and golden in colour and have stopped expanding. Remove from the oil and transfer to a kitchen paper lined tray.
6. Toss in caster sugar. Needless to say, best eaten warm.
