1. 01

   Mix the Dough

   Combine the cornstarch, tapioca, feta, farmer's cheese, egg, baking powder, sugar, salt, and milk in a medium bowl. Work the mixture with your hands until it forms a soft, smooth dough.
2. 02

   Form the Buñuelos

   Roll the dough into small, uniform balls.
3. 03

   Fry the Buñuelos

   In a deep pot, heat the vegetable oil to between 300°F and 320°F. The oil should be warm, not extremely hot, to ensure the buñuelos cook through evenly without browning too quickly.

   Carefully drop the buñuelo balls into the warm oil and fry for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.

   Drain and Serve

   Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried buñuelos from the oil. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil before serving.
