Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons refined coconut oil

melted

⅔ cup warm water

1–2 cups neutral vegetable oil

6 tablespoons cane sugar

½ tablespoon cinnamon

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted coconut oil and warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, then cover and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into small balls and roll them out into flat circles.
In a deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the flatten dough pieces until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the bunuelos from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a small bowl, mix the cane sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle generously over the warm bunuelos before serving.

Notes

Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture. You can adjust the sugar and cinnamon coating to your taste.
