Colombian Bunuelos Natilla

These were made for me last christmas by a friends mother. She made them so delicately and with such love that i was inspired to make them myself after my visit to her home. They are very addictive, and believe me when i say that you can't just eat one. I actually had about 7 while i was at her house, and my stomach was just about ready to explode by the time i left. It was worth it though because these little things are beyond good. Enjoy!!

Steps

Buuelos:.

Grind the cheese very finely in food processor.

Mix the cheese with the cornstarch , eggs , brown sugar and salt.

Roll into balls the size of golf balls and drop into medium-hot vegetable oil and fry slowly.

After a few minutes increase temperature and fry until they are golden.

Remove and place on absorbent paper.

Natilla:.

Dissolve the cornstarch in the milk.

Add the brown sugar.

Cook over low heat , stirring constantly.

When the sugar is melted and begins to thicken , add the cinnamon.

Continue to cook for about 15-20 minutes , stirring constantly.

After 15-20 minutes , fish out the cinnamon sticks , and pour the natilla onto a very large serving platter or into a large bowl to cool slightly.

Cut the natilla into chunks and eat with a buuelo , taking a bite of the buuelo and then the natilla.

Enjoy !.
