Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- In a large bowl combine eggs with 1/4 cup sugar and beat until thick and lemon-colored. Add the oil. Combine separately 1-1/2 cups of the flour, the baking powder and the salt. Gradually add this to the egg mixture and beat well.
- Turn dough out onto a floured board (use remaining 1/2 cup flour) and knead thoroughly until dough is smooth.
- Shape dough into sixteen balls. Roll each one into a circle about 5 inches in diameter. Let stand uncovered on waxed paper for about 10 minutes.
- Heat oil in a deep fry pan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry circles until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Store airtight.

I followed this recipe exactly, but I used only two eggs instead of four. It came out perfect. They tasted just like my abuela used to make them. I will definately use this recipe again.

I was expecting the crispy light buneulos I was raised on. these were soft and a bit bland, more like a sopapilla. Not a bad recipe, but not a bunuelo.
