List of Ingredients




* 2 cups grated white farmer's cheese or queso fresco
* 1/2 cup cornstarch
* 1.5 tablespoons light brown sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 egg
* Vegetable oil for frying




Recipe



1. Make sure that the cheese is grated very finely. You can use a food processor for this.

2. Mix the cheese, corn starch, sugar, salt, and egg in a large bowl until well blended.

3. Shape the dough into 1 inch diameter balls.

4. Heat several inches of oil in a heavy pot to 350 degrees.

5. Add the bunuelos, a few at a time, and cook. They will sink to the bottom, then rise and expand. Cook for 3-4 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown and very round.

6. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Makes about 24 bunuelos
