Buñuelos (alternatively spelled bimuelos, birmuelos, bermuelos, burmuelos, bunyols) are
fritters of a mainly Spanish origin. They are a popular
snack in many
Latin American countries, and are traditionally eaten at
Christmas. They typically consist of a simple, wheat-based
yeast dough, often flavored with
anise, that is thinly rolled, cut or shaped into individual pieces, then
fried and finished off with a sweet topping. There are different types of buñuelos. Some are made with cheese or with yam or other starchy vegetables, others have different fillings.
