South African Bollas(Goolgoolas) By Marriam Sayed


South African Bollas or Goolgoolas, Can both roughly translate into “Ball” or “Round” referring to the shapes these donuts take on when fried. There are similar versions worldwide, using yeast in their recipes, but these BOLLAS/GOOLGOOLAS are probably the only ones that use Baking Powder.
A classic SOUTH AFRICAN, old school version of ‘Drop Donuts’. Soft and Fluffy, BOLLAS (Or GOOLGOOLAS) are Yeast-Free Donuts, that are easy to whip up.
