We made them in scouts with cinnamon sugar too.

It's important to have good memories like that.

     Title: Bunuelos #2 (Fried Pastry)
Categories: Desserts, Mexican, Pastry
     Yield: 1 Batch

     4 c  Flour; sifted
   3/4 c  Milk
   1/4 c  Margarine; melted
     3    Eggs; slightly beaten
     2 tb Sugar
     2 ts Salt
     1 ts Baking powder
          Oil

 Combine and sift all dry ingredients into a bowl. To the eggs add
 milk and margarine--then blend into dry ingredients. Turn the dough
 out onto a lightly floured board, knead until smooth. Taking small
 pieces of dough, roll into balls about 1-1/4" in diameter--then set
 aside. Cover with a towel--let stand for about 10 minutes. Using a
 tortilla press and waxed paper, flatten each ball into a 5" circle;
 stack with paper between. When all are rolled, let stand about 20
 minutes. Fry in hot oil to a golden color--turn and fry other side.
 Drain on paper towels. Dust with cinnamon and sugar on one side.
