Sweet Fried Puffs

The sweet fried puffs of Carnival I thought of starting from a basic dough like choux pastry, but then they are fried and come out quite dry and crispy at the same time.
If desired, they can be filled with cream and become real cream puffs.
We can use them for buffets, birthday parties… we can fill them as we like and they will always be delicious!!!
Make them yourself and you’ll see they will be very successful, and if you don’t taste them right away, you won’t eat them because everyone else will gobble them up.
So let’s get to work and tell me what you think!
You can also find the video recipe link on youtube.
If you make this or any of my other recipes from my blog, feel free to send me your photos and I will post them on my fb page with your name.
