Buñuelos De Viento
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 1 whole Lemon, Zested
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1-1/3 cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour, Substitute All Purpose Flour
- 4 whole Eggs
- 1 whole Light Olive Oil Or Grapeseed Oil For Frying

- 1. In a heavy-bottomed sauce pan over medium heat, bring milk, lemon zest, salt and butter to a soft boil.
- 2. Once the milk has come to a boil, turn the range off and whisk in the flour.
- 3. Turn the range onto medium low and cook the dough for 5-8 minutes, constantly turning. This is an important step to make sure that your final batter will puff once fried.
- 4. Once the dough has been cooked, set aside and allow to cool.
- 5. Once the dough has cooled, incorporate the eggs into the dough, one at a time. Your final dough should be the consistency of a thick pancake batter.
- 6. Once your batter has been made, heat up the olive oil in a small sauce pan at least 2" tall.
- 7. Drop a half spoonful of batter at a time into the oil and watch them puff.
- 8. Once the bunuelos are browned all around and puffed, allow to drain on a towel.
- 8. Finish by filling with cream, rolling in granulated sugar, topping with powdered sugar or drizzling with raw honey.
