Easy Buñuelos with Dulce de Leche

Brenda Villagomez
Buñuelos are a typical and seasonal Mexican dessert that comes with a homemade syrup made with piloncillo. With this easy buñuelos recipe, you can prepare a tower filled with cream cheese and dulce de leche and your own piloncillo syrup from scratch. To prevent the flour tortillas from burning, it's important that the oil is not too hot, and if you want the syrup to have a thicker consistency, add only half the water.
