In this traditional recipe, GOYA Cassava slices makes the dough easier than ever to prepare. Simply mix together the yuca dough, roll into balls and cook.

Preparation

For the syrup:

  1. Add ½ cup water, panela, cinnamon and cloves to small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and liquid reduces to 2/3 cup, about 15 minutes; set aside and keep warm.

For the fritters:

  1. In medium bowl, mix together grated yuca, egg yolks, sugar, baking powder and salt until thoroughly combined. Using heaping tablespoon measure, scoop dough into hands; roll dough into small balls (you will have about 25 balls).
  2. Add 1½”-2” oil to medium, heavy-bottomed pot. Heat oil over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking (temperature should register 350°F on deep fry thermometer). Add yuca balls to oil in batches, taking care not to crowd pot. Cook, maintaining hot oil temperature (325°F-350°F), until fritters are cooked through and develop golden brown crust, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  3. To serve, transfer warm fritters to serving plate; drizzle with reserved syrup.
