Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
-
Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture while whisking continuously to avoid scrambling the eggs.
-
Gradually add the flour into the wet ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick but still pourable.
-
Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (180°C). To test if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of batter into the oil – if it sizzles and bubbles form around the batter, the oil is hot enough.
-
Using a spoon or piping bag, carefully drop small portions of the batter into the hot oil. Fry the doughnuts in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
-
Cook the doughnuts for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and puffed up. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
-
Once all the doughnuts are fried, dust them generously with powdered sugar while they are still warm.
-
Serve the Buñuelos De Viento Light Fried Doughnuts warm with your favorite hot beverage and enjoy the fluffy, airy goodness of these delightful Spanish treats.
