Colombian Buñuelos Recipe
Colombian buñuelos are light, fried cheese balls, crisp on the outside and soft within. The dough comes together quickly with cornstarch, tapioca, and a mix of feta and farmer's cheese, along with an egg, sugar, and baking powder. Frying them at the right temperature is key to getting that even golden color and a cooked-through center. They're traditionally served warm, often for breakfast or as a snack.
