Bunuelos, a traditional Mexican Christmas dessert, are fried to perfection and coated in a delicious warm spiced cinnamon and sugar mixture.

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon Butter, melted
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅔-¾ cup warm water
- ½ cup cinnamon sugar
- 2 cups Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, egg, and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix well until the mixture is crumbly. Slowly add the water a tablespoon at a time, mixing and kneading until you have a soft and smooth dough formed in a ball.
- Cover and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
- While the dough is resting, line a plate with paper towels and heat a large cast-iron skillet with oil over medium-high heat.
- Use a dough scraper to divide the dough into 12 balls.
- On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out each ball into a thin 6-inch circle without breaking the dough. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Fry dough circles, one at a time, until puffed and golden (about 30-45 seconds on each side). Place on paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar while hot.

Notes
- Thin and crisp. Holding the dough under the oil for the first 15 seconds can help minimize air pockets and create a thinner crispier fritter.
- Store. To keep the bunuelos crisp cover loosely with aluminum foil and keep them on the counter for 2-3 days.
