Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp salt. In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs with 3/4 cup milk.
  2. Step 2: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth dough forms. Knead lightly on a floured surface until elastic, about 3 minutes. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Roll dough out thinly to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 6-inch circles.
  4. Step 4: Heat 4 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat to 350°F. Fry the dough circles in batches for about 1-2 minutes per side until puffed and golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Step 5: Mix 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1 tbsp ground cinnamon in a shallow dish. Immediately toss warm buñuelos in the cinnamon sugar to coat.
  6. Step 6: Warm 1/3 cup honey slightly and drizzle over the buñuelos just before serving for a sticky-sweet finish.
