Small balls of fried dough, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, Colombian buñuelos are golden spheres of cornmeal and cheese. They have been recognized as a symbol of Christmas, starring in the Novenas de Aguinaldos from December 16 to 24 and the day of the candles. Traditionally enjoyed with custard and hot chocolate, these delicacies represent the warmth of the home and the Colombian family union.
