3 1/3 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tbsp. sugar
1/4 c. butter
2 eggs
1/2 c. milk
Salad oil for deep frying
Sift flour, with salt, baking powder, and sugar into a bowl. Add butter and rub into flour with your fingertips until mixture is like coarse meal. Beat eggs lightly with milk, then pour into flour mixture and stir until dough forms a solid mass. Turn dough out onto board, and knead lightly for 2 minutes or until smooth. Cut dough into balls the size of marbles and let stand 15 minutes.
Roll each ball on a lightly floured board into a very thin pancake 4 inches in diameter. Cut a hole in center with a thimble. After rolling out the circles of dough, place them in a single layer on waxed paper until ready to cook.
Fry in hot deep fat (375 degrees) until puffed and golden brown, about 30 seconds on each side.
Mix 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl. As bunuelos are still warm, shake in sugar mixture.
