bunuelos
January 26th, 2009
You may not think it is possible to lose weight while on a eating plan which includes bunuelos but it is obtainable. It is fundamental to not eat bunuelos or other high calorie deserts every day but in moderation.
This is what I do, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one day per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet 6 days a week, say 1400 to 1600 calories each day, and then on the 7th day, I eat whatever I want - without going overboard of course.
I have been eating this way for the last 6 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise plan or taken any pills or diet aids. I have simply been careful of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I want one day per week.
I also think it is helpful if you have a little support when dieting and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to help you monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Bunuelos
Bu?uelos is a traditional New Year’s dessert.
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups fresh orange juice, milk
or water, heated slightly
4 eggs
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, oil and eggs. Then add warm orange juice, water or milk and knead gently to combine all the ingredients. You may need to add a small amount of flour if the dough is extremely sticky. Let rest for 1 hour.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut rounds, strips or any shape desired, and fry in deep fat at 375 degrees F until crisp and golden brown. Drain on paper towels and then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar or drizzle syrup over them. Bu?uelos may be fried in advance. They will keep for several days, as long as the initial frying produces a crisp result.
Anise Syrup
3 cups water
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
1/4 scant teaspoon aniseed
Combine all ingredients together in a saucepan. Set the pan over medium heat until the sugar has melted, then bring it quickly to a boil. Let the syrup boil for about 20 minutes. By then it should have reduced to about 1 1/4 cups. Set it aside to cool. Pour warm syrup over hot bu?uelos.
Honey-Brandy Syrup
1/3 cup thick honey
2 tablespoon brandy
Melt the honey and brandy together.
Orange-Cinnamon Syrup
8 ounces piloncillo or 1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground canela (cinnamon)
1 cup orange juice
1 cup water
Combine piloncillo and canela in a small, heavy saucepan. Add orange juice and water and simmer over medium heat until the mixture thickens and forms a light syrup. Remove from the heat and set aside. Pour warm syrup over hot bu?uelos. Re-warm if necessary before serving time.
Wine Syrup
2/3 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup Madeira or Port wine
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Grated peel from 1/2 orange or lemon
1/3 cup raisins
Combine brown sugar, wine, water and cinnamon in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and boil until the syrup just begins to thicken, about 4 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the grated peel and raisins. Keep warm. Pour warm syrup over hot bu?uelos.
