buñuelo
A buñuelo (, alternatively called boñuelo, bimuelo, birmuelo, bermuelo, bumuelo, burmuelo, or bonuelo, is a fried dough fritter found in Spain, Latin America, and other regions with a historical connection to Spaniards or Sephardic Jews, including Southwest Europe, the Balkans, Anatolia, where the sweet form is called lokma and the rest pişi, and parts of Asia and North Africa. Buñuelos are traditionally prepared at Christmas, Easter, and Hanukkah. They will usually have a filling or a topping. In Mexican cuisine, it is often served with a syrup made with piloncillo.
