Cheese Buñuelos are a traditional Spanish fritter, made from a light and fluffy choux paste, which melts in your mouth.
They are perfect as a party snack or as part of a selection of tapas. You can make the mix in advance and lightly fry them before you serve them. Spanish buñuelos are typically flavoured with ham, cheese, salt cod or black pudding but they can easily turn into a sweet fritter, dusted with sugar and cinnamon.
