Let's see how to make these wonders step by step!

Ingredients

- 400 g flour
- 200 g flour
- 1 sachet baking powder
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons grated orange or lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Breadcrumbs or coconut (for rolling)
- Optional: poop or raisins (your choice)

Ingredient details

- Flour: Choose a good quality flour that has adequate gluten content for a fluffy texture.
- Corn: Corn adds a unique flavor and a slightly crunchy texture. You can experiment with fine or coarse, depending on your preference.
- Citrus zest: Adding orange or lemon zest will give the globules a fresh flavor. Be sure to use organic citrus to avoid pesticides.
- Cinnamon: This spice not only provides a delicious flavor, but also brings antioxidant benefits.
- Horseradish/Staffnuts: These are optionally added, but provide a sweet contrast and interesting texture.

Preparation Techniques

1. Mixing the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, grated citrus zest, cinnamon and salt. Use a spatula or spatula to ensure the ingredients are well blended.

2. Form the dough: Gradually add warm water to the dry ingredients mixture, stirring continuously. The dough should become soft but not sticky. Adjust the amount of water if necessary.

3. Shaping the balls: Once the dough is ready, take a piece at a time and shape into balls of desired size. If you want to add craisins or raisins, make a small indentation in the center of the ball and insert a piece of these before closing the ball.

4. Boiling: Bring water to a boil in a large pot. When the water comes to a boil, carefully add the balls. They are ready when they rise to the surface and become about double in size (about 8 minutes).

5. Flipping: Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and immediately transfer them to the breadcrumbs or coconut, flipping them well to coat them evenly. This step is essential as it helps add a crunchy texture.

6. Serving: Place the balls on a platter and allow to cool slightly before serving. They are delicious warm but can also be enjoyed at room temperature.

Personal note

A great serving suggestion for the balls is to accompany them with a hot chocolate sauce or berry syrup. Also, a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side will turn dessert into an unforgettable experience.

Variations

- Chocolate balls: Replace sugar with cocoa and add chocolate chunks to the batter.
- Fruit balls: Mix small pieces of apple or pear into the batter for a fruity variation.
- Vegan Globes: Replace animal ingredients with vegan options (e.g. almond milk) without compromising on taste.

Nutrition facts

Each serving of pellets (about 6-8 balls) contains about 250-300 calories, depending on the ingredients used. They are a good source of carbohydrates and can provide an energy boost. Plus, citrus zest and cinnamon add essential antioxidants to your diet.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use whole wheat flour? Yes, but the texture will be different. Whole wheat flour will make the balls denser.
2. How can I store the globules? Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. You can reheat them in the microwave.
3. What drinks go well with the globules? A fruit tea or fresh lemonade are great options to accompany these delights.
