ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 cup (+ an additional 1/2 cup for rolling) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large room temperature eggs
- 2 to 3 cups vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/3 cup Nutella, for dipping
Method
Step 1
Add water, salt, sugar, and butter to a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Step 2
Once boiling, turn off the heat and immediately mix in the flour with a wooden spoon. Stir constantly for 3-5 minutes. The dough is ready when it doesn’t stick to the pan.
Step 3
Remove from the heat and vigorously mix in the eggs one at a time. When the dough looks smooth like cake batter, it’s ready to fry.
Step 4
Fill a large pot with oil on medium high heat. Make sure it’s about 2 inches deep. Let the oil come to 365°F-390°F.
Step 5
With a greased cookie scoop or spoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of dough into the oil. Let them fry for 2-3 minutes. The dough balls will flip over on their own. Continue frying until golden brown.
Step 6
Remove the buñuelos from the pot of oil using a slotted spoon. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
Step 7
Roll the buñuelos in sugar. Fill a small bowl with Nutella for dipping and serve warm.
