In a separate bowl, cream the sugar and the oil or butter until smooth. Add the egg, milk, and masa harina.

Gradually add the flour, mixing well after each addition, until a dough forms.

Roll the dough into meatball-sized spheres, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. You can leave them round, or flatten them into cakes.

Remove balls to the paper towel-covered plate to drain.

Using tongs, place each buñuelo onto the plate with the sugar and cinnamon mixture and shake until well coated, turning the piece over if necessary.

Serve your delicious buñuelos warm, with atole or hot chocolate, if you like.
