• Take the time to knead the dough until it is smooth and a bit elastic. • Roll the dough disks as thin as possible then continue to stretch until the dough is almost transparent, but avoid tearing the dough. • If the oil is too hot the buñuelos will burn quickly, if it is too low they won’t bubble up.
