Kitchen Friend Joleen Waltman offered great tips on making these fun treats: “Buñuelos are popular in Latin-American countries. They are typically made thin and crispy. They are pronounced as (boon-wel-los). One trick to get the tortillas thin enough is to lay the dough between two pieces of greased wax paper and then roll out. The oil gets hot and can splatter. Gently put the dough in the oil from front to back of the pan.”

Hi, I’m Marissa. In this recipe for Amish Mexican Bunuelos, it calls for 1 1/2 cups starter, does that mean do the 10 days first then get the 1 1/2 from there? Or before the 10 days measure the starter. Is this the same for any of your recipes? Sorry, I do not have Face Book. I greatly appreciate any advice on this matter.
Thank you…Marissa
