I have never made bunuelos. I would love to try these Mexican fritters. The recipe looks interesting and not difficult to make.
I have had these when I have visited areas in the Southwest. So light and delicious. This recipe makes me think I could make them myself.
These sound interesting. I am actually quite fond of anise, and the tea in this fascinates me. They look very good, an dont look tough to make up I might try them.
That looks yummy and pretty easy to make. I’ve never had them before but I want to try them.
I’ve never had bunuelos. Wow, they sound delicious. I need to try these.
