Mexican Buñuelos


  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 teaspoons butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar
  • Oil for deep-fat frying
  •  2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 teaspoons butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar
  • Oil for deep-fat frying

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix well until the mixture is crumbly. Add water gradually, mixing into the dough. Knead until you form a firm ball.

Let the dough rest, covered, for 30 minutes.

Use a dough scraper to divide the dough into 18 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.

On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out each ball into a thin 6-inch circle. Repeat with remaining dough.

Have a plate with paper towels ready next to your frying station.

In a large cast-iron skillet with tall sides, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry dough circles one at a time, until puffed and golden, about 45 seconds on each side. Use tongs to flip buñuelos and pull them from the oil. Place them on the paper towels to strain, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar immediately.

Serve as whole pieces or break into smaller pieces to share.

Mimoza Salad ( RUSSIA)

Mimoza is a traditional Russian salad. It's prepared by layering different ingredients, and each one is separated by a light layer of mayonnaise. The ingredients include canned and mashed fish such as tuna, mackerel, salmon, or trout, boiled egg whites and yolks, onions, crumbled cheese, and sometimes boiled potatoes and carrots. Almost all of the ingredients used in the salad are finely grated. The boiled egg yolks are usually the final layer, hence the name of the salad, because it looks similar to the spring flowers.
