Sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder in a mixing bowl, then sprinkle in salt. Gently mix in the melted coconut oil before gradually adding warm water, stirring until the dough comes together.

Transfer the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead it for about 10-15 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Divide the dough into approximately eight equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten them slightly to form discs. Cover the discs and let them rest for 30 minutes.

Once rested, take each disc and use a tortilla press or a rolling pin to flatten them into very thin discs.

In a large pot, heat neutral vegetable oil to a temperature of 350-375°F.

Carefully lower each flattened disc into the hot oil, frying for about 30-45 seconds on each side.

Sprinkle your fried bunuelos with a delightful mix of cinnamon and cane sugar while they’re still warm.
