Pestiños

Buñuelos
Buñuelos can be found all year round in Spain, particularly in stalls at ferias and markets, but Buñuelos are also part of and traditional Easter meal. The sweet, fried dough balls are often filled with cream. Like churros, buñuelos are a great accompaniment to a cup of hot chocolate.
