  • BUÑUELOS DE VIENTO

    BUÑUELOS DE VIENTO

    Not to be confused with traditional Mexican buñuelos made with a rodillo (or tortilla roller), these light and crispy treats are made with a buñuelera. Also known as a rosette mold, this special cooking tool is made out of cast aluminum with a long handle attached to it.

    Ingredients









    Directions

    Whisk together milk, flour, vanilla, salt, eggs and cinnamon in a large bowl. Run through a fine mesh sieve into another large bowl. Cover and set aside for 10 minutes. Batter should be thin and runny, resembling pancake batter.

    Place sugar in a large shallow plate and set aside.

    Heat approximately 1-inch depth of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Dip rosette mold or buñuelera in oil, making sure mold is evenly covered by hot oil. Working quickly, dip hot-oiled mold into batter, covering bottom of mold and sides, do not cover top of mold. Dip in hot oil, carefully shaking mold up and down until batter unsticks into hot oil. Fry for 10 seconds or until browned lightly. Turn using wooden skewer, fry for 10 seconds more.

    Transfer buñuelo to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Place in shallow plate with sugar and cover lightly with sugar on both sides using a spoon. Place on a large tray and repeat until all batter has been used.

    Ingredients









    Sugar Coating


    Directions

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

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

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

    Add the liquid mixture to dry ingredients and mix well.

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

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

    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.

    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.

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

    Ingredients

    For the Topping


    For the Dough







    For Frying

    Directions

    Gather the ingredients.

    Make the topping by combining sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish.

    Sift together the flour and baking powder.

    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.

    Heat vegetable oil in a medium-sized saucepan until hot. Fry dough balls or cakes until golden brown, about 6 or 7 minutes, turning to brown all over.

    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.

    Ingredients








    Directions

    Place the butter and sugar in a medium bowl. Beat them with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is pale and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. (This process is called creaming the butter and sugar.) Beat in the vanilla and water until combined.

    Sift in the flour and add the almonds. Beat on medium-high speed until ingredients are blended. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Shape the dough into bite-sized balls or crescents. Place the cookies on a cookie sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.

    Remove the cookies from the baking sheet and let them sit for 5 minutes, or until they are cool enough to handle.

    Place the powdered sugar in a medium shallow bowl. Roll the cookies in the sugar until coated on all sides. Let the cookies cool completely.

    Roll the cookies again in powdered sugar once or twice more. Enjoy!
