    Method

    1. 1

      Whisk the flour, sugar, salt, eggs, milk and vanilla into a smooth batter the thickness of heavy cream. Rest 15 minutes.

    2. 2

      Mix the coating sugar and cinnamon in a wide bowl.

    3. 3

      Heat the oil to 185°C (365°F) with the rosette iron submerged in it so the iron gets hot.

    4. 4

      Lift out the iron, shake off the oil, and dip it into the batter up to, but not over, the top edge.

    5. 5

      Lower it straight into the oil. Hold for a few seconds until the buñuelo releases (nudge with a fork), then fry until golden on both sides.

    6. 6

      Drain briefly and toss in cinnamon sugar while warm. Repeat, reheating the iron each time.
