Buñuelos with white chocolate sauce and fruit sauce (25 Buñuelos) 3/4 cup all-purpose Flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 grated lemon 1/4 teaspoon of salt 1 cup of ricotta 2 eggs 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 3 tablespoons of sugar Vegetable oil for frying (the amount depends on the use of the pot) Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Combine the liquid ingredients in another. In a saucepan, place enough oil to cover (4 inches from the bottom) to fry, and heat until it reaches 325 degrees. Remove the dough with a spoon and pour into the 325-degree oil and fry until golden brown. Cook only 3-4 at a time, so that the temperature of the oil won’t drop. Remove the buñuelos when they are ready and place them on paper towel to drain the excess oil. White chocolate sauce 1 white chocolate bar 1 can of condensed milk 1/2 can of evaporated milk 1 tablespoon of vanilla In a small pot, over medium-low heat, place all the ingredients and stir constantly until the chocolate melts and all the ingredients are well incorporated.
