The first time I had this dessert was when I was in California with some friends. I received a recipe from a woman I met on the flight home from there and unfortunately lost it. I'm glad I found this one. The woman told me you can boil these instead of frying them…does that work? Or is frying the best way? Just looking for a healthy alternative to oil. Thanks!
I'm not sure, Kasia. Never tried boiling them. The only way you'll know for sure is to try it with a little bit and see.
