How to Make Calas Fried Rice Balls
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, gently combine 2 cups cooked rice (preferably short-grain) and 2 large eggs.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (from step 1) to the wet ingredients (from step 2), mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
- Fry the Calas for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the Calas with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- While still warm, dust generously with powdered sugar.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! Optional: Drizzle with honey for an extra touch of sweetness.
