You possibly will not accept that you can lose weight while on a diet which includes bunuelos with sweet syrup but it can happen. It is crucial to not eat bunuelos with sweet syrup or other high calorie breakfast every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself these kinds of food once per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1200 to 1600 calories per day, and then on the 7th day, I eat anything – within reason of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last few weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise routine or taken any supplements or diet food. I have just been aware of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I like one day a week.

I also think it helps to have some support when dieting and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to enable you to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Bunuelos (Fritters) with Sweet Syrup (San Salvador)

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch salt
1 cup water
1/4 pound butter
3 eggs
Vegetable oil for deep-frying
Sweet Syrup

Stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.

Combine the water and butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and, using a wooden spoon, beat in the flour mixture. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating only enough to incorporate them into the batter.

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. The oil is hot enough when a bread cube put into the oil sizzles and turns brown.

Shape the batter into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Carefully slip them into the oil, being careful not to crowd the pan (work in batches, if necessary). Using a wooden spoon, keep moving the bunuelos around so they will puff up and brown evenly. When golden brown, remove them to a plate lined with paper towels.

Serve as soon as possible with Sweet Syrup.

Yields about 24 bunuelos.
