New Orleans Calas | A traditional New Orleans Breakfast treat
New Orleans native Charlie Andrews demonstrates how to make New Orleans Calas. Calas is a popular breakfast item that has origins in Louisiana and in Africa. After slavery laws were passed, the Africans were able to purchase their freedom, buy property and sell items. Street vendors mostly Creole women sold Callas with coffee or cafe au lait. The Callas even became traditionally served on Mardi Gras and first communion. This recipe makes 14 to 17 medium-sized callas. It's quick, flavorful and absolutely delicious. Hope you all will give this recipe a try.

The best. Easy NOLA Calas
I promised you a great recipe for the holidays and here it is.
The day before you want to make your Calas, combine the warm water (not hot because it will kill the yeast and not cold because the yeast will not start eating) and sugar in a bowl. Add the yeast and let stand until foamy, about 15 minutes. Add the rice and stir well. Cover with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature overnight. Follow these steps exactly. The adding rice part you did not see because the file was corrupt. But all you missed was me putting the 2 ½ cups of rice in the mixture stirring it and covering it with plastic wrap. The file was corrupt and that is something you cannot do a do-over/double take. Also, if you noticed I used an aluminum mixing bowl. The aluminum mixing bowl will come to a warm temperature almost instantly. If you are going to use a glass mixing bowl add this extra step. Pour the warm water in the bowl and let it sit to bring it up to a warm temperature because the yeast will take longer to start eating due to a lower temperature. You can bring it up to a warm temperature and pour that water out and add a cup of fresh warm water. I also use the same bowl for the whole recipe.
The next day, stir the rice mixture and kind of mash the rice against the side of the bowl leave some of the rice whole.
Add the remaining ingredients to the rice mixture, mix well. It should be like pancake batter. Cover with plastic wrap for 1 hour. Some people skip this and the yeast portion at the beginning. They were just taught another way is all. I am just going by how I was taught. If I let out some secret well now you know. There are many ways to make these but I think you will like mine. I have been making mine for many years and never had a complaint only compliments.
You want your oil to get to 365 or at least above 320F. As you saw in the video getting things really hot here in the mountains is a task. Even brisket on a smoker. Use an oil like vegetable oil or oil with no taste and light color.
I started with a spoon dripping the mix into the oil and changed to an ice cream scoop. That worked great. I used to use a large melon baller but I could not find mine for this video. After they are golden brown put them on a cooking/baking sheet covered with paper towels. Let them sit a couple of minutes to drain any excess grease/oil and cool just a tad. If you cover them with confectioner sugar too fast you will get a glaze instead of the powdered sugar effect. You can dust them as much as you like with the powdered sugar. Let your kids help and make it fun. Some people use syrup on them.
Give my recipe a try and leave a comment on how you liked it, please.
