BUÑUELOS

Prep Time: 2 hours
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Yield: 40 pieces

* 1/4 cup Mazola® Corn Oil
* 4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1 tablespoon sugar
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 2 eggs
* 1 cup milk
* Mazola® Corn Oil for frying
* sugar-cinnamon mix to sprinkle on pieces

1. Pour oil in a frying pan to about 2-inch depth. Heat the oil to 360-370°F.


2. Combine flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Mix until well blended.


3. With a mixer, blend eggs well and then add oil slowly. Blend well. Add milk to mixture and blend well.


4. Slowly add the liquid mixture to the flour. Knead by hand or with a machine until a smooth, elastic dough forms. Allow to rest for 10-15 minutes.


5. Divide the dough in small portions, about 1-inch in diameter. Roll each portion in your hands and then flatten it on a floured surface.


6. Using a rolling pin, extend portions and then stretch by hand to form a very thin, almost transparent disc.


7. Fry the flattened disc until they turn golden brown (about 20 seconds on each side). Drain on paper towels. After cooling, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
