Hey Raizy – thanks for trying and sharing your feedback. Sorry this one wasn’t a hit for you.
Did not like. Found making the donut holes a bit difficult. I rolled our the remaining dough & filled it with the corn. Sliced it & served with salsa. Will not make again. Too much frying.
LOL ok great!
Made this tonight I only fried off a few because we have had enough fried stuff so I sprayed the rest with pam on both sides and baked the until they were light brown the truth is the fried did taste better but in the future when I make I will bake them because it wasn’t that bad. And I served it with frittatas.
It was great with vegetarian Mexican food. Would also be a good side with fajitas.
I’d like to make this tomorrow night but can’t figure out what to make with it any ideas anyone
Delicious! I had extra corn relish leftover that I will serve warm with the doughnut holes. This is going to be fantastic with veggie tacos and tortilla soup.
