Professional Cheese Bunuelos Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups of vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 1/2 cups of grated cotija cheese (approximately 125 grams)
  • 1 cup of corn starch (about 100 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons of cassava flour (approximately 25 grams)
  • 1 egg
  • 4 tablespoons of whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon of sugar

Instructions:

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pot (preferably a 2.5-quart dutch oven) over medium heat until it reaches 350 Fahrenheit or 175 Celsius.
  2. In a bowl, combine the corn starch, cassava flour, sugar, and baking powder. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
  3. Add the grated cotija cheese to the dry mixture and mix thoroughly.
  4. Incorporate the egg and milk into the mixture, then knead the dough until it reaches a smooth, play dough-like consistency.
  5. Shape the dough into small round balls, approximately 1.5 inches in diameter or about 30 grams each.
  6. Carefully place the dough balls into the frying oil, ensuring that the oil maintains a consistent temperature. If the oil temperature exceeds 350 Fahrenheit, adjust the heat accordingly.
  7. Fry the bunuelos for approximately 6 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
  8. Once cooked, remove the bunuelos from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  9. Allow the bunuelos to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
