Buñuelos Recipe

Beat eggs until light in color and thickened; add milk and melted shortening. Combine the sifted flour, sugar, and salt. Sift into the egg mixture slowly and blend well. This should make a soft dough easily handled without sticking to the hands.

Shape into balls the size of a walnut and allow to rest covered with a damp dich towel for 10 minutes. Roll on a lightly floured board into a round-shaped cake similar to a tortilla.

Fry in deep hot oil as you would doughnuts until golden brown in color-about 3 minutes on a side, then turn and fry 3 minutes on the other side. Drain well. Sprinkle with sugar that has been mixed with a little cinnamon.
