Bunuelos Recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups grated white farmer's cheese or queso fresco


1/2 cup feta cheese
3/4 - 1 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup yuca starch (tapioca)
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 eggs
1 tablespoon butter, softened
Vegetable oil for frying
Preparation
1. Crumble/grate the two cheeses, making sure that
they are grated very finely. You can use a food
processor for this.
2. Mix the cheese, corn starch, sugar, salt, baking
powder, butter, and eggs in a large bowl until well
blended. Knead dough until it is smooth. It will be
soft, but should not be sticky. Add more cornstarch
if dough seems too wet. if the dough seems too dry
or crumbly, add a small amount of milk (1-2
teaspoons at a time) until it is smooth.
3. Take about 2 tablespoons of dough, and use the
palms of your hands to shape the dough into a very
smooth ball.

4. Heat several inches of oil in a heavy pot to 325


degrees.
5. Add the buuelos, a few at a time, and cook. They
will sink to the bottom, then rise and expand. Cook
for 10-12 minutes, or longer if needed, turning them
occasionally, until they are very golden brown.
6. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Dust with
powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm or at room
temperature.
