Equipment

1 Rosette Timbale Iron

Ingredients

vegetable or canola oil

Batter

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup water
2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1 tsp. table salt
2 whole eggs lightly beaten

Topping

1 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon

Instructions

Prepare your cinnamon sugar topping in a pie plate and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all batter ingredients and whisk until smooth.
Prepare a rimmed baking sheet, lined with paper towels, with a cooling rack on top.
Heat oil in a large, heavy bottom, dutch oven to 350 degrees.
Place the iron in the hot oil for 3-4 minutes. This is an important step.
Remove the hot iron from the oil, letting any excess drip off. Quickly dip the hot iron into the batter and immediately place back into the hot oil. Gently shake the iron back and forth for several seconds until the buñuelo releases from the iron. Cook for a 1-2 minutes flipping throughout, until golden brown.
Remove from oil and place on baking sheet to cool slightly. Let sit for 1 minute and then lightly toss in cinnamon sugar mixture. Repeat with remaining batter.
