Steps

120 minutes

1

Pour the flour into a large bowl, add the eggs, and knead the mixture.
2

Add the sugar, baking powder, chicha, butter, 1 teaspoon of salt, and the milk.
3

Knead for about an hour, then let the dough rest. For best results, prepare the dough in the morning and let it sit in the sun all day.
4

In the evening, once the dough has rested, take small portions, flatten them, place small pieces of cheese in the center, and cover them with dough to form balls.
5

Fry the balls until golden brown. To check if they're done, insert a fork into one; if it comes out clean, they're ready.
6

Once golden, remove the buñuelos and place them on a tray lined with paper towels to drain and cool.
7

They're ready to eat! Serve with chicha, horchata, or hot coffee.

The horchata recipe is one I've also prepared.
