Honduran Buñuelos

Ingredients

• 6 cups flour
• 1 tsp. Sugar
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 egg
• 2 TBSP. shortening
• water
• 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
• Frying oil

Procedures

1. Mix well the flour, baking powder and Sugar.
2. Add the egg and shortening and mix until both are absorbed by the flour.
3. Add water a little at a time until it becomes a dough consistency (like tortillas).
4. Roll small balls of the dough (about 1/2 the size of your hand) into pancake-like shapes.
5. Let them sit for awhile so they can dry a bit.
6. This way they won't absorb too much oil when you fry them.
7. Deep fry the buñuelos and sprinkle with cinnamon and Sugar. They should be nice and crisp.
