South African Bollas aka Goolgoolas | Foodeva Marsay

  1. Prepare the Batter:
    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until you have a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
  1. Heat Oil:
    • Heat the oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep saucepan to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Form and Fry the Bollas:
    • Use a spoon to drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, creating small, round balls. You can also use your hands or another spoon to shape them.
  3. Fry Until Golden Brown:
    • Fry the bollas until they are golden brown, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes.
  1. Drain and Dust:
    • Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried bollas from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
    • If desired, dust the bollas with icing sugar while they are still warm.
  2. Serve:
    • Serve the bollas warm as a delightful snack or dessert.
