There is a lady just south of San Bartolo who makes killer bunuelos. Left side of the road just past the huge Virgen de Guadalupe.

Not traditional, but they go great with carrot-raisin salad.

Jesse, you don't have a recipe for these? Anyone else have one?
May no animals be harmed in the making of this film.

Found this on the Net...
2 eggs
2 Tbsp melted butter
1/4 cup milk
2 cups flour
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
oil or lard for frying
brown sugar syrup or honey
In a large bowl, beat eggs, then beat in butter and milk. Combine flour, sugar and salt and add to egg mixture. Mix well. Turn dough out on a lightly
floured board and knead until silky smooth but not sticky. Divide dough into about 12 to 14 pieces and shape into little balls. Cover and let rest for
about 20 minutes. Roll each out into a circle, very thin. Let rest another 5 minutes, then fry one at a time in hot oil until pale gold. Drain on
paper. Serve with honey.
Brown Sugar Syrup
Make a thin syrup by adding a little hot water to a cone of Mexican brown sugar (piloncillo) or to 1/4 cup brown sugar with a dash of cloves. Stir
with cinnamon sticks, allowing syrup to cool a bit with cinnamon.

On Baja camping trips we would make our own version of buñuelos using tortillas. Such a simple combination of flavors....but it tastes so good when
you are roughing it!

At my Tias' house Bunuelos were always made as a by product of dough left over from making enpanadas; those wonderful, meat filled turn over looking
looking things that are fried and then lightly dusted with sugar. Good hot or cold. Great with coffee. No one can eat just one. Recipes anyone?
