Colombian buñuelos (Cheese fritters) are a real tradition, especially for the holiday season when they are typically served with a pudding called “Natilla”, but you can really find buñuelos all year long in coffee shops or bakeries, so you can eat them with a good cup of coffee.
Total: 30 minutes
Buñuelos are part of our main plates or snacks, either at breakfast or at any time of the day, accompanied by a cup of chocolate or a cup of coffee.
December’s ideal combinations are fritters and natilla, either for the velitas day 7th and 8th of December or for the 24th of December, but they are actually perfect for any day of the year.
These days families traditionally get together, family members that used to be far away, the family that you have not seen for some time, it is time to return home, get back to the town that saw you grow up, meet with friends and relatives.
