Frituras de Queso Tipo Buñuelo (Sin Harina de Trigo)
Cheese Fritters (Buñuelo Style, No Wheat Flour)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm they are made without wheat flour, tapioca starch, or other high-carb flours. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Savory deep-fried cheese fritters, a keto adaptation of the traditional Nicaraguan buñuelos. These maintain the crispy exterior and soft, cheesy interior by using a keto-friendly binder (e.g., almond flour or egg) instead of wheat flour, and are served without sugary syrup.
Key ingredients
Local firm cheese (e.g., cuajada, queso seco), almond flour (or similar keto flour), eggs, baking powder (optional), salt, cooking oil (for frying).
How to make it keto
Confirm they are made without wheat flour, tapioca starch, or other high-carb flours. Ensure no sugary syrup or honey is served with them.
Watch out for
Use of traditional wheat flour or tapioca starch, hidden sugars in sauces/syrups, oil quality (can soak up a lot of unhealthy oils if deep-fried).
