Bunuelos Hondurenos
Honduran cassava-and-cheese fritters in spiced rapadura syrup.
About Bunuelos Hondurenos
La Prensa presents these cassava-and-cheese buñuelos as a traditional Honduran Holy Week sweet. The selected recipe combines grated cassava and dry cheese with corn flour, egg and the leavening ingredient named soda.
Rapadura provides the syrup’s sweetness, accompanied by cinnamon sticks, cloves and allspice. The cheese adds a dairy element to the cassava fritters.
The round fritters are golden and crisp outside, with creamy cooked centres. They rest in the spiced syrup after frying; the primary recipe does not specify their final serving temperature.
