Buenuelos (de Queso optional)

2 eggs
1 cup milk
2 tbsp sugar
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
oil for deep frying

Heat the oil to 365 degrees.

Beat eggs, milk and sugar together in a large bowl. Sift the dry ingredients together in separate bowl.

Mix the flour mixture into the eg mixture just enough to moisten all the ingredients and bring the batter together. Do not overmix. Fold in the cheese.

Drop spoonfulls of batter into the oil and fry until golden on all sides (they often turn themselves in the oil at perfect timing for the first sides browness). Remove to a plate covered with paper towels.

Variation:
Omit the cheese. When removed from oil and still warm roll into cinamin sugar or a simple powdered sugar, butter, milk, vanilla glaze (which makes them closely resemble a donut hole without having to wait hours for dough to rise).

This is a puerto rican fritter
