Christmas bunuelos

These Mexican Buñuelos are deliciously crispy, crumbly, and sweetened with lots of cinnamon sugar or piloncillo syrup. They’re one of those treats that are both nostalgic and so much fun to eat!

Buñuelos are deep-fried pastries, traditionally served cold, often around the holiday season. They are similar to Sopapillas, another famous Mexican dessert, but there are subtle differences between them. Sopapillas use the same dough as Buñuelos but are flash-fried, softer, sweeter, served hot, and usually drizzled with honey.

Try bunuelos sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar for a festive treat! Once fried, this golden-brown fritter has a light and airy texture with just the right amount of crispiness.

Dough that is fried, then covered in sugar and cinnamon—what’s not to love? Try this easy recipe for crispy Colombian buñuelos, a holiday treat.
