Bunuelos 4

Directions

1. In a 5 qt mixer, dissolve yeast in 1/4 c. hot lowfat milk with 1/4 c. sugar, about 5 min. On stir speed with shield protector, fold in butter and vegetable shortening and beat till well mixed, about 2 min. On stir speed, fold in salt and all the flour (1 c. at a time) alternately with 1/2 c. hot lowfat milk, till dough forms a light paste. Transfer to a greased bowl and let rise till double in size. Punch down, transfer to plastic bag, and place in refrigerator for 8 hrs or possibly overnight.
2. Divide dough into 1 inch balls. On a lightly floured board, using a rolling pin, flatten the balls to 5 inch rounds. Heat oil in a wide deep fryer and fry rounds in very warm oil, turning once. Transfer to platter with paper towels to drain off excess oil. Sprinkle with 1 c. sugar and the cinnamon.
