    Nicaraguan yuca donuts called Bueneulos de yuca are scrumptious donuts made of cassava/yuca.

    These treats are fried and then served in a sweet syrup sauce flavored with lemon and cinnamon.

    They are easy to make and we enjoyed them immensely with a nice strong cup of Nicaraguan coffee.

    The yuca or cassava root is grated and then mixed with some grated cheese, an egg holds together the mixture along with a touch of baking powder before they are deep fried to a golden brown.

    The result is a cheesy sweet delicious bite of goodness, YUM!
