Fast buñuelos with hot chocolate sauce

1.Make a sugar shaker by piercing 20 or so small holes in the lid of a small jar. Add cinnamon and sugar and shake to mix.

2.In a frying pan large enough for each tortilla to lay flat, heat 2.5cm oil over a medium-low heat. When oil reaches 175°C (or when a cube of bread begins to brown in 5-7 seconds), fry tortillas one at a time.

3.When the first side is golden brown (after 1-2 minutes), carefully turn over with tongs and fry on the other side. Some of them will puff up like pillows; this is fine. When golden brown, remove and drain on a paper towel for a few minutes.

4.Dust with sugar and cinnamon on both sides while still warm and serve immediately with a small jug of hot chocolate sauce on the side.

5.Heat cream until almost boiling. Remove from heat, add chocolate and cayenne, if using, then let stand for 1-2 minutes.

6.Stir to combine and keep stirring until mixture becomes smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.
