MEXICAN BUNUELOS

Bunuelos are one of my favorite treats that my family makes during the Christmas and New Years holiday. What’s not to love about fried dough covered in cinnamon sugar, am I right? For the holidays, we always have a big stack of bunuelos, tamales, empanadas, and posole, as well as a pot full of Mexican Christmas Ponche or Mexican Hot Chocolate. We go all out for Christmas and New Years and it’s so so good!

INGREDIENTS FOR THE BUNUELOS

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup warm water
• 4 tablespoons oil, plus 2 or more cups for frying

FOR THE CINNAMON SUGAR TOPPING

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE BUNUELOS
