Instructions

  1. 1 Bring 2 cups water and 6 tablespoons oil to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Off heat, stir in flour and baking powder until well combined; cool, 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. 2 Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition with an electric mixer; beat until mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
  3. 3 Meanwhile, bring sugar and 2 1/2 cups water to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat; stir until sugar is dissolved. Off heat, cool, at least 20 to 30 minutes.
  4. 4 While syrup cools, heat 2 cups oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  5. 5 Spoon dough into a tulumba syringe or a piping bag fitted with a coupler and a star-shaped tip (closed or open). Pipe small portions of dough, in batches, into the hot oil. (You can also drop spoonfuls of dough into the hot oil, but the tulumbas won't have the traditional shape.) Fry until golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; cool about 10 minutes. Transfer tulumbas to a bowl. Pour cooled syrup on top; let soak for at least 2 hours.
