Recipe: Bunuelos

Meghan;
Here is another recipe from the same cookbook.
CINNAMON-SUGAR CRISPS (Bunuelos)

Bunuelos (boon-WAY-lows) are one of the triumphs of Mexican pastry -- crisply
fried pastry disks sprinkled with anise seeds, cinnamon, sugar, and honey.
Here's a low-fat version using flour tortillas that are baked instead of deep-
fried. Best of all, these low-fat bunuelos are ready in minutes.

4 fat-free flour tortillas
(8" diameter)
1 tablespoon butter or lard, melted
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon anise seeds, crushed
2 tablespoons honey
Preheat the oven to 400F.

Place the tortillas on a large baking sheet. Lightly brush the top side of each
tortilla with the butter or lard.

In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, and anise seeds. Sprinkle 1
tablespoon of the mixture over each tortilla.

Bake the tortillas for 5 minutes, or until crisp (watch closely so that they
don't burn). Transfer to a rack or plate and let cool slightly. Just before
serving, drizzle the honey over the tortillas.
