About Bolas de Fraile
Paulina Cocina presents bolas de fraile as the fried form of her berlinesas dough. This Argentine rendition belongs to the familiar sweet bakery pastries also known by the same name in Uruguay.
Milk, eggs and butter enrich the yeast dough, with vanilla and lemon zest adding fragrance. A milk-and-flour sponge starts the dough before kneading, shaping and repeated rising.
The small buns are fried on both sides until golden and immediately rolled in sugar. A diagonal opening receives the dulce de leche, leaving a sweet filling inside each bun.
