Buñuelos are a type of fried dough pastry popular in many Latin American countries and Spain. They are typically made from a simple mixture of flour, water, and sometimes eggs, which is then shaped into small balls or discs and deep-fried until golden brown. The texture is light and crispy, making them a delightful treat. In addition to being enjoyed plain, buñuelos can be served with various toppings or fillings. Common accompaniments include sugar, cinnamon, or syrup, while some variations may include cheese or fruit. They are often enjoyed during festive occasions, such as Christmas or Día de los Muertos.
