1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of flour, the sugar, salt, and baking powder. In a small bowl, stir together the egg, milk, and melted butter. Add to the flour mixture and mix thoroughly. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface. Sprinkle the dough with 2 tablespoons of flour and knead to make a soft smooth dough, 3 to 5 minutes.
2. Divide into 8 pieces and roll into balls. Cover the balls with a dry cloth and let rest 20 minutes. Place 1 ball on a lightly floured surface and with a rolling pin roll out to a round about 1/8-inch thick. Using your hands, gently stretch the dough to make it even thinner. Repeat with the remaining balls.
3. Pour oil to a depth of 1 inch in a large deep skillet. When the oil shimmers, and a small piece of dough sizzles at once, with a long-handled utensil carefully place 1 buñuelo in the hot oil. Fry briefly until the bottom is lightly browned, about 20 seconds. Scoop oil over the top, and turn over with tongs to fry the second side until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining buñuelo. Prepare the cinnamon-sugar or syrup, if using. Sprinkle or pour over buñuelo and serve hot.
