  • 2 tablespoons Cassava flour (approximately 25 grams)
  • 1 egg
  • 4 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions:

  1. In a frying pot (2.5-quart Dutch oven works well), heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350 Fahrenheit or 175 Celsius.
  2. In a bowl, combine corn starch, cassava flour, sugar, and baking powder. Whisk until thoroughly mixed.
  3. Add grated cotija cheese to the dry mixture and mix well.
  4. Incorporate the egg and milk, then knead the dough until achieving a smooth, playdough-like consistency.
  5. Form small round balls, approximately 1.5 inches in diameter or 30 grams each.
  6. Carefully place the dough balls into the frying oil, ensuring it maintains a temperature around 350 Fahrenheit. Adjust heat if needed.
  7. Fry the bunuelos for about 6 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  9. Allow the bunuelos to cool for approximately 10 minutes before serving.
