Bunuelos In Air Fryer Recipes

BUNUELOS

Steps:

• 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.

BUñUELOS DE VIENTO: 'LIGHT-AS-AIR FRITTERS'

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a small saucepan, combine water, butter, granulated sugar, lemon zest , and pinch of salt. Bring to a boil.
• As soon as the water boils, add the flour and baking powder all at once and begin stirring with a wooden spoon. Stir constantly until the dough begins to come away from the sides of the pan.
• Remove from the heat and allow to cool down for a few minutes.
• When the dough is no longer hot, but still warm, stir in the eggs, one by one. Use a hand mixer if necessary to ensure that the dough is smooth.
• Set aside for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• In a large, heavy-bottomed frying pan, pour vegetable oil to a depth of about 1 1/2 inches. Heat on medium-high.
• When the oil is just hot enough to fry, begin dropping spoonfuls of dough into the oil.
• Turn over when the bottom is golden. The buñuelos should turn a golden color and begin to float when cooked.
• Remove them from the pan one at a time using a slotted spoon or spatula. Drain on a paper towel.
• Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.
• Gather the ingredients.
• After the buñuelos are fried, wait until they are cool enough to touch, then cut them in half.
• Spoon in custard filling and serve immediately.
• The same method can be used for pastry cream and marmalade fillings.

MEXICAN BUNUELOS

Steps:

• Add all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Mix together until combined.
• Add warm water and 4 tablespoons oil. Mix together with a spoon or your hands until the dough comes together.
• Transfer the dough onto a clean working surface and knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
• Roll the dough into a ball, place it in a bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
• While the dough is resting, cover a large plate with paper towels, fill a large saute pan with 1 to 2 inches of frying oil and make the cinnamon sugar topping. Set aside.
• Divide the dough into 8 separate pieces and roll each piece into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, use a floured rolling pin to roll out each ball into an 8 to 10-inch circle. (I recommend laying the rolled out dough onto a large kitchen towel in one single layer. Don't stack the rolled out dough on top of each other or it may stick.)
• Heat the frying oil to 350°F. Fry each dough circle for about 60 seconds, turning once, until golden brown on both sides. Transfer to prepared plate to drain any excess oil. Sprinkle heavily with cinnamon sugar topping.
• Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.

EASY AIR FRYER CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray or the foil-lined air fryer basket.
• Place the seasoned patties in the air fryer basket.
• Cook for 5 minutes at 375 degrees, turn the patties and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
• Add a slice of cheese to each patty and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until your desired doneness.Note - We used these cook times for well done. If you prefer more pink or red in your burger, add the cheese after 8 minutes.
• Remove the burgers and build your burger with your desired toppings.

CINNAMON-SUGAR CRISPS ("BUNUELOS")

Steps:

• On a plate, mix the sugar and cinnamon. In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, add enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the pan. Heat over medium-high heat until a deep frying thermometer, inserted in the oil, reaches 350 degrees F. (If you do not have a thermometer, test the oil with a piece of tortilla, which should sizzle when it touches the oil and should brown in about 2 to 3 minutes.) One by one, fry tortillas until golden brown. With a slotted spoon, transfer the crisps to paper towels to drain. While still warm, transfer to cinnamon-sugar mixture, turn to coat and serve.

BUNUELOS DE ESPINACA (SPINACH FRITTERS)

Steps:

• Whisk flour, baking powder, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Mix spinach and onion together in a separate bowl. Add milk and eggs to spinach mixture; mix well. Stir flour mixture into spinach mixture until batter is evenly combined.
• Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large, deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Oil is ready to use with a drop of spinach batter added to the oil bubbles immediately.
• Drop batter, about 1 tablespoon per fritter, into the hot oil; fry until outside edges of fritters are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
