Recommendations

Oil bulbs aren’t called oil bulbs for nothing?. Fry them in frying oil rather than in deep fryer, and certainly not in solid frying grease. When the oil bulbs cool down, frying grease solidities like a thin layer around them. That gives an odd? Feeling in the mouth, especially cold oil bulbs. Frying oil remains liquid and that creates tasty oil bulbs, at every serving temperature.
