Mexican Bunuelos are a little larger and flatter in size. Still sweet to eat, these fritter like desserts are sooo good.

1

In a mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

2

In a saucepan heat milk, butter, and vanilla and bring to a boil. Set aside to cool.

3

In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, then add the beaten eggs to the room temperature milk mixture and whisk quickly.

4

Add the liquid mixture to dry ingredients and mix well.

5

Knead dough on lightly floured surface 2 to 3 minutes until smooth.

6

After you knead the dough, divide into 20 dough balls. With a rolling pin, roll out thin tortillas.

7

Lay out all the thin tortilla flats on a tablecloth and let them dry. Turn them over once to ensure drying on both sides. This helps remove most of the moisture before frying.

8

Heat one-inch of oil in a skillet wide enough for the tortillas to fry flat. Deep-fry tortillas until golden brown, turning once. Remove from pan; stand vertically in a bowl lined with paper towels and drain excess oil.

9

While warm, sprinkle fried tortillas on both sides with sugar-cinnamon mixture.
