Reply:Bunuelos (Mexican Fritters)





4 cups all-purpose flour


2 tablespoons granulated sugar


1 teaspoon baking powder


2 teaspoons salt


2 large beaten eggs


3/4 cup milk


1/4 cup melted butter


Vegetable oil for frying


Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture (recipe follows)


Brown Sugar Syrup (recipe follows)


Powdered sugar for sprinkling (optional)


Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together in a bowl; set aside.


In a small bowl, beat together the eggs and milk. Stir egg/milk mixture into flour mixture; add the melted butter and mix well. (Dough should be easy to handle, if too stiff add 1 to 2 tablespoons more milk; be careful not to make dough sticky.)


Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until very smooth.


Divide into 18 to 24 pieces. Shape into balls; cover with a cloth and let stand for 20 minutes.


Roll each ball on a lightly floured surface into 4 to 6-inch rounds. Let the rounds stand for 5 minutes.


In large, deep skillet, heat about 2-inches of oil over medium-high heat or to 375*F (190*C). Fry dough, one or two pieces at a time, until puffed and golden on both side. Drain well on paper toweling. Sprinkle with Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture or drizzle with Brown Sugar Syrup and sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve warm.


Makes about 1 1/2 to 2 dozen.





Cook's Note: Bunuelos freeze well. To freeze, wrap individually in foil. Crisp them in the oven before serving again.





Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture: Combine 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon with 1/3 cup sugar. Sprinkle mixture over hot Bunuelos.





Brown Sugar Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups packed dark brown sugar; 1 cup water; 2 tablespoons light corn syrup and 1 (2-inch) cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Drizzle over hot Bunuelos and sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar.
