Description
Delicious Buñuelos with Warm Chocolate Sauce to Indulge Your Sweet Cravings
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar (adjust to liking)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp sea salt (a pinch)
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- for frying avocado oil or ghee (high smoke point)
- 8 oz semisweet chocolate
- 1/2 cup sugar (adjust as needed)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/2 cup half and half
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- rosewater (optional for floral twist)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and sea salt. In a separate bowl, beat your egg, milk, and vanilla. Combine the liquid mixture with the dry ingredients to create a thick, slightly lumpy batter.
- Fill your frying pan with oil to a depth of 1 inch. Warm the oil over medium heat until it reaches 325°F.
- Use a metal tablespoon to drop dollops of batter into the hot oil. Start with one fritter to check if the oil temperature is just right.
- Between each scoop of batter, dip your metal spoon into a dish of water to keep it from sticking. Fry 4 to 5 buñuelos at a time.
- Turn the fritters as they become golden brown, keeping a metal slotted spoon handy.
- Once cooked, drain the fried buñuelos on a cooling rack or paper towels to remove excess oil.
- While still warm, dust the fritters lightly with powdered sugar.
- In a double boiler over medium heat, melt the semisweet chocolate gently for a smooth sauce.
- Whisk in the sugar, butter, and a pinch of salt until combined.
- Gradually whisk in half and half until the sauce reaches a velvety consistency.
- Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla and optional rosewater.
- Pour the warm chocolate sauce over the buñuelos and serve immediately.
