Cinnamon-Sugar Bunuelos
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
4 large eggs
Grated peel of 1 orange
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, the butter, brown sugar and salt over medium -high heat until it just begins to boil. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the flour until incorporated; remove from heat. Stir for a minute, then beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, until the dough is glossy and smooth. Stir in the orange peel.
Fill a large saucepan with enough oil to reach a depth of 1 inch; heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees. Working in batches of 10, drop in rounded teaspoonfuls of the dough and cook, turning, until golden brown, about 5 minutes per batch; using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain.
In a brown paper bag, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Working in 4 – 5 batches, add the fritters and shake to coat.
