The Buñuelos:

1 lb. gluten-free flour tortilla dough

Combine sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a large plastic bag and shake to blend ingredients, set aside.

     Knead gluten-free tortilla dough into 9 to 12 balls.

     Heat oil in a large saucepan.

     Flatten the dough balls into circles and fry each one in the oil for 3 to 4 minutes until crisp and golden brown.

     Drain on plates covered in paper towels.

     While the rounds are still warm, place into the sugar mixture bag and shake gently to coat.

The Guava Syrup:

¾ c. dark brown sugar
