As the name implies, these bunuelos are light and fluffy, and melt in your mouth. They are perfect for an afternoon snack or dessert and are a typical Spanish dessert. They are lightly fried, and dusted with powdered sugar and/or filled with pastry cream, egg custard or marmalade. Like most traditional dishes, every Spanish cook has their own recipe for bunuelos. Some have a touch of baking powder, some don't. Our version has just a bit to make sure the fritters puff into light and airy balls. We like to fill them with a classic egg custard and serve at the end of a special dinner. These fritters are a good addition to a brunch menu or for afternoon merienda or tea.
