- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. There should be enough oil to fry the buñuelos - about 1 1/2 inches high. The temperature has to be around 365 degrees Fahrenheit. Add a layer of paper towels on a baking sheet to absorb the excess oil from the finished buñuelos.

- Place the iron mold in the hot oil to fry the batter. Keep the mild in the oil for about a minute. The batter will start cooking, and you will eventually be able to lift up the mold and the buñuelo will slip off and stay in the oil (if it doesn't easily come off from the mild, separate it with the help of a fork.) Once you've removed the mold from the oil, keep cooking until it gets golden color all over.

- Fry each rosette for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Once removed, place them on the baking sheet lined with a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
