Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix flour, masa, baking powder, salt, and shortening by hand or in a stand mixer with a dough attachment until crumbly.

Step 2

Add egg and continue mixing.

Step 3

Add water, a little at a time and mix until it comes together in one piece. If the dough feels a little dry, you can add a few more tablespoons of water.

Step 4

Knead dough for 4-5 minutes until fairly smooth. Roll dough into one large ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rest on the counter for 30 minutes, during which time you can make the syrup.

Step 5

Portion dough into small balls, about 30-40g each. Cover all the dough into pieces again with plastic and let rest on the counter for 20 minutes.

Step 6

Using a rolling pin, on a well floured surface, roll dough pieces into large, thin discs, like making tortillas, about 5-6” wide.

Step 7

On a comal over medium heat, quickly cook each tortilla for about 10 seconds on each side to sear.

Step 8

In a medium sauté pan, add 2” of frying oil and heat to 350F. Fry the buñuelos until golden brown on each side. Place buñuelos on paper towels to dry.

Step 9

In a small pot add all of the ingredients and cook until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil, and reduce by half. Let rest until you finish frying all the buñuelos.

Step 10

In a medium saute pan, add half of the piloncillo syrup and bring to a simmer. Carefully place one buñuelo at a time into the syrup and quickly coat both sides. Once the buñuelos come out of the syrup, they can be placed on a fresh plate and enjoyed once cooled.
