bunuelos
Crispy fried pastries
Buñuelos are fried dough pastries found throughout Latin America and Spain, typically served during holidays and celebrations.
The dough is shaped into balls, discs, or twisted forms, then fried until golden and dusted with cinnamon sugar or drizzled with syrup: My grandmother always made buñuelos for Christmas.
Regional variations differ widely—some are crisp and flat, others puffy and soft.
