In a bowl or container, add the flour and all the other ingredients.

Or, if you prefer, use a clean surface and gradually mix in the warm water (make sure the water is warm, not hot, or the dough will get sticky). Knead until you have a smooth dough, about 10 minutes. Cover and let rest for about 30 minutes so it doesn't dry out. After resting, form small balls of dough.

While you roll out the dough, heat the oil. Once the oil is very hot, add the buñuelos one at a time, flipping so both sides cook. When they're golden brown, set them aside. (I cooked them on low heat so I had time to roll out the rest.)

For the syrup, combine the water, piloncillo, and cinnamon in a saucepan. Cook over low heat until the piloncillo dissolves, stirring occasionally. Let it simmer for 5 more minutes, then turn off the heat. The syrup is ready.

To serve, drizzle the syrup over the cooled buñuelos and enjoy with your special person.

Even my neighbor got to try some! Cooking is not just about making food, but also about enjoying and sharing with the people you care about, especially during times when someone might be having a hard time. If we can make someone happy, what better way than by sharing. Sending you a big hug and I hope you not only make these, but also share them.
