Bonuelos

[ThatManViv]

I'm wondering if anyone knows the secret to making these things.
I've tried and never managed to get it right.
Mix is too dry, too wet, fat is too hot, too cool.
Used to buy them when I visited Colombia.
I remember a guy at a school fete,he just had a massive wok with hot oil over a butane gas burner
and the mixture already prepared in sausage shapes in a cool box, and he just popped them in the oil for like 5 or 6 mins, and that was it, perfect bonuelos ....
I need to crack this, time is passing by ....
I don't wanna be laying in my death bed listing this as one of my regrets ...

Isn't it really a type of doughnut? I think so. I've not tried to make them though....

It's like a doughnut mix but has a hint of cheese

Let me check my Mexican cookbooks. Might be Monday though.

Shows how much I know - I thought they were sweet things. I will have to do more homework.

Having looked at a few recipes it seems as if you are supposed to use tapioca flour or cassava flour. More hard to find ingredients?

Can't really help you there. I've only ever had Greek/Jewish ones. They just use ordinary flour, honey, and sesame seeds, and sometimes yeast. My mouth is watering at the thought.
