Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
I know Paula Deen seems like a nice little old lady, with her big silver hair and friendly Southern drawl, but today I've finally come to believe that she's pure evil. How else to explain why she would unleash a recipe for deep fried butter balls on an unsuspecting public?
No, I am not making that up, and yes, the recipe really is what it sounds like: Deep-fried. Balls. Of. Butter. You mix butter with cream cheese, shape it into balls, freeze them, and then drop them in the deep-fryer. People, she must be stopped.

I think this just about leaves me speechless.... that and it makes me want to gag... that's just wrong on so many levels.

I am not a soapbox-standing, food-policing, finger-wagging person who screams in terror at the sight of butter, meats and other real foods (but I do use a lots of hyphens). But does America need to see a woman on TV promoting such a recipe?
Is she serious??? I'm starting to wonder if the network is having so much fun playing up her butter-loving reputation that they knew something like this would ignite some fires. Aye, yai, yai!!!

I grew up here in the deep south (still live here) and some of the stuff she makes grosses even me out.
Southern cooking does have a good bit of regional variation (coastal, piedmont, etc) but she is on this big butter, cream, egg and butter kick that spoils some really good dishes and seems to be making up stuff.
I have NEVER heard of this dish. I can do a LOT of fried stuff but this is crazy.
Fried butter.....what is the point? I can't taste good unless you are eating butter out of the fridge with a spoon at night.
goingsouth at 2:54PM on 04/09/07
That just doesn't sound very tasty. Butter and cream cheese? Why?
megnut at 2:55PM on 04/09/07
she has to smoke a lot of weed, right? no sober person conceives of something like this and then actually prepares it, right?
jmunchie at 3:06PM on 04/09/07
For what it's worth, I read that the recipe was from a viewer that was participating in the show for some reason.
ThatGirl153 at 3:41PM on 04/09/07
Does anyone happen to know how this recipe is supposed to be served? Is it intended to be placed on the table and spread on bread? I might understand it if that is the case (although It still isn't something I would want to eat). Or is it actually something you are supposed to pop into your mouth like a fritter?
Acme Instant Food at 3:58PM on 04/09/07
I love Jmunchie's comment...I'm speechless. I don't know what to say...
Lilartist at 4:03PM on 04/09/07
Paula Dean is right up there with Rachel Ray....annoying, artifical sweetness, just, echhhhhh
Seriouspoorcook at 4:14PM on 04/09/07
I remember her son, Bobby (the thinner one) once made a joke about his mom's favorite food being "deep fried butter." Guess she ran with it? The weird thing about Paula is that, though she is overweight, she should be A LOT heavier considering what she eats. I'm sure her arteries are fully clogged, though - not good.
Clare K at 5:25PM on 04/09/07
I am not sure which is scarier, that this recipe exists, or that , according to reviews, there are people who have actually made and eaten these things.
tjrogers at 5:33PM on 04/09/07
my mother ate in her restaurant, and she is by no means a health nut, and she said the food was revolting. more is not more.
and although i find some of paula deen's recipes entrancing, she, upon occasion, does a disservice to the delicious legacy of american southern food.
Dish at 5:39PM on 04/09/07
Back when I owned a t.v., I used to be a great fan of the Food Network. Apparently it has changed since then. That sounds truly horrid. They must be airing that purely for shock value.
izzy's mama at 10:43PM on 04/09/07
Yikes. I was about to come to this crazy woman's defense, until I actually saw the recipe! In my mind I was envisioning more of a fried carrot-cake-icing-desert situation. Nasty, sure, but who could say no to tempura battered cream-cheese icing (I have a vivid imagination)! But then I saw the picture...seasoned bread crumbs? Huh? Then II saw the butter-to-cheese ratio! Is she insane? Two sticks of butter to two spoonfuls of cheese? Christ, it's a miracle she's not already dead!
misssbhavens at 10:58PM on 04/09/07
She must have been drunk with Sandra Lee at the time.
FKC at 12:05AM on 04/10/07
I'm with Acme Instant Food - in what setting would you eat these? Are they a condiment? An hors d'oeuvre? Some kind of fairground attraction?
caley at 6:35AM on 04/10/07
Dish, your mother obviously had a taste bud malfunction that day. I have eaten there many times, and Paula Deen's restaurant, The Lady and Sons, is one of the best restaurants, if not the best restaurant in Savannah.
TybeeGirl at 8:26AM on 04/10/07
My my my...no... I won't be a cookIn any of those babies up anytime!
Who would?
Peperoni at 8:49AM on 04/10/07
The recipe was sent in by a viewer after she heard Bobby (Paula's son) make the joke that his mothers favorite food was fried butter. If I remember correctly, the woman that sent the recipe in also appeared on the show to help Paula make the fried butter.
Mimi3 at 9:09AM on 04/10/07
the food channel, unfortunately, does indeed now appeal to the lowest common denominator. there is very little there for the serious chef, or indeed, anyone with a serious interest in food. the new panem et circenses.
Dish at 9:56AM on 04/10/07
What a hoot! Surely this was a bad joke....I read the reviews on the Food Network's website - those folks who actually made them seem surprised that they tasted like a stick of butter. Well duh!
pageycooks at 2:26PM on 04/10/07
I think it sounds fucking awesome.
The Guilty Carnivore at 5:01PM on 04/10/07
Okay, I have known she is nuts since she put cream cheese in her lasgna. But when you said "butter" you failed to say TWO FREAKIN' STICKS of butter!!! Even Miss Scarlett would have chosen the dirt over that!
Deb07 at 5:30PM on 04/10/07
That's lasagna...sorry
Deb07 at 5:33PM on 04/10/07
Nothing should surprise anyone about this. Why do we eat English muffins if not merely as an excuse to eat little pools of melted butter !! I love jmunchie's comment.
Mazcheck at 7:24PM on 04/10/07
This might almost be worse then her "Cheesy Ham and Banana Casserole" from her Gone Bananas episode. Someone unleash Anthony Bourdain on this woman...

K - Oh Yes! I'd love to watch that crash!
pageycooks at 8:22AM on 04/11/07
I remember watching her eat a pat of butter on one of her show's episodes. It was gross. Then again, I've seen Mario Batali cook with all manner of fats on his shows as well.
What I would like to see is the nutritional facts on those deep-fried butter bits. Talk about a heart attack waiting to happen.
hereandthe at 2:27PM on 04/11/07
That would explain how she keeps her girlish figure.
'did I say that outloud?'
FuzzyBunnyFeet at 11:26PM on 04/11/07
Eat her butter balls. Don't eat her butter balls. She's still the one with the teevee show and the restaurant and the following.
austinist at 12:18AM on 04/12/07
Are you people out of your minds? Deep fried butter is a beautiful thing! The Biscuit denounces all haters of butter. Sure, it's high in cholesterol and not all that good for ones' figure, but it's about moderation people. Have you heard of it? Next you'll be attacking our beloved Paula for making deep fried cheese. Heresy! Paula is a culinary genius who dares to make REAL food in the face of all this low-carb/no-carb/no fat/no calorie madness.
The Biscuit at 11:24AM on 04/16/07
I'm a Butter fan and would never substitute it with margarine for any recipe.
Can't wait to try out Paula's Fried Butter Balls. Cream Cheese is my fave, too.So it's bound to be simply delish and utterly butterly.
Jayarine at 2:30PM on 08/11/07
Why is everyone so up-in-arms? Of course it's gross. Of course it's over-the-top. Of course it's completely ridiculous. That's what it's SUPPOSED to be. That's the joy in it. She's a white-haired, ingratiating, over-fed, Southern-on-steroids woman on the Food Network. What else would you expect? And if it makes your delicate arteries hurt, for God's sake, don't eat it. But do enjoy a good belly-laugh.
BammerSlammer at 2:27AM on 08/28/07
What kind of gravy would be best with that?
eatorama at 8:30PM on 12/11/07
What Paula Deen concocts in NOT "southern cooking". It's convenience cooking. All this talk of butter..what no mention of that other deadly sin....mayonnaise? I can feel my arteries clog when I channel surf past her show. And another thing, what the hell is going on with that phony drawl? She sounds like she should appear in front of Tara in a hoop skirt with Ashley Wilkes at her side.
RichardCrystal at 12:59PM on 12/12/07
Actually that's a very low carb recipe!
mrsadm at 3:45PM on 12/13/07
Paula Deen has worked very hard to get where she is today. She has a great personality, wit, a great sense of humor. She has made something of herself. She is of a different genre of some chefs, perhaps. We always have a remote control don't we. I personally love her. A true success story in a woman's life. My 2 cents worth.
leonidas at 2:34AM on 12/31/07
Deep fried butter? Still not as gross as the mayo on the pizza incident.
MarshaNYC at 2:36PM on 01/03/08
Give me a break!!! Lia, tell the whole recipe, will ya? You didn't even mention the other ingredients that make the whole thing sound less gross. It calls for bread crumbs, an egg, and flour also. Sounds a little better now, doesn't it? I just love how no one else who commented even bothered to look this up to see if you knew what you were talking about or not. Nevertheless, it should not have escaped you in watching her show that she always makes high fat recipes. Don't tell me you just now figured that out!
sunshinegirl1967 at 7:33PM on 01/27/08
shes's so happy because she is on anttidepressants
jeang at 1:41PM on 02/04/08
actually it doesn't sound one bit better with the egg , floour and breadcrumbs!
jeang at 1:43PM on 02/04/08
So we have established that the butter ball recipe was made because of a joke and she says all the time that she doesn't eat like that all the time. I'm from the South and we don't eat gravy and biscuits and bacon all the time. We do enjoy certain recipes and pass down recipes that aren't very healthy but we continue to make them from time to time to enjoy our heritage. Just like the Italians and French have their cream filled and egg laden recipes so does the South. Every cook has a few recipes that we scratch our heads about and say we would never make it but so what!!! Get over it and enjoy her bright personality and her joy of hospitality.
Her accent is real if you have ever heard someone from Georgia talk. Not all of her recipes are traditional Southern but neither is Ina Garten's recipes always French.
If you want to talk about ridiculous recipes, watch Sandra Lee on Semi-homemade.
swissmiss2584 at 11:58PM on 02/10/08
I am truely speechless, every one is always to quick to judge, with out knowing all the facts! For one thing Paula did not come up with this recipe a viewer did! Yes it is unhealthy, but so is fried chicken and fudge but do we critisize the people who cook it? What you eat is your own choice, for me personally I think poeple who cook tofu is trying to kill but that is my opinion! Paula never says her food is healthy, there are to many health nuts out there trying to convince us we are all fat and worthless unless we fit into a size 0! Paula is comfortable with who she is. Yes she loves butter and fried foods, but who doesn't! There is so many cooking shows out there trying to be no fat, low calorie, ect... so watch those and maybe when you gget a craving for something with taste try one of paulas recipies... expecially her Gorilla cake
cuntrycuk at 11:20AM on 02/11/08
I stumbled upon her show and was intrigued by her statement that no one in the south would think of having a tea, or a shower, or a card game without serving cheese straws. "We just wouldn't think of it". She really endeared herself to me immediately. I watched her prepare the cheese straws, thought to myself that I would make them soon, and then I watched the rest of the show. EVERYTHING she made was full of butter, cheese, cream cheese, eggs, and more butter. It was fun to watch, but who in hell can eat like that? One meal like that each week would offset six days of dieting. She's quite hilarious, in a deadly way.
glenj at 8:23PM on 03/14/08
I admire Paula for being a self made business woman.. but i have to agree sometimes I have to turn her off.. she makes my teeth hurt with her sweetness.. but I think thats just her..
sunflowertattoo at 10:52AM on 03/15/08
To eat or not to eat - that is the question. As with any decision. - make a choice and live with the consequences. Miss Paula doesn't insist you make or eat anything she makes - she merely lends you her expertise, innovativeness, etc. None of us is consistently perfect with our food choices.
Some of the recipes on many of the shows are strange, but so what? Paula has a great kind of showmanship. My boyfriend and I watch her Paula's Party almost every Fri just because it's such fun. Enjoy your food the way you like it and don't criticize others, there is too much of that in the world. Love and best dishes (with apologies to Paula).
Maggiemae at 6:10PM on 03/21/08
has anyone who commented actually tried this? I would think that would be the first thing someone would do before making a snarky comment...
overthebridge at 3:36AM on 03/27/08
"Paula Deen is Trying to Kill Us" - You would think that someone was actually trying to kill you by holding you at gunpoint to go to the grocery store buy the ingredients. Come home mix them up. Freeze them. Get them out and drop them into a fryer. I'm guessing most people making comments are overweight themselves and have no self control. So you're killing yourself. It's really sad to think that you can't enjoy a recipe for what it is. I live in Texas where it's a hobby to see what you can fry from Snickers to Oreos. Get over yourselves and let the woman entertain! YOU GO PAULA!
ForcedFood at 1:26PM on 04/10/08
I absolutely love Paula Deen. Find someone else to leave your rude and ignorant remarks about because Paula is the last peson to deserve such critisicm. She has enough spunk to beat out all of you people who have nothing better to do than to point fingers. I have never witnessed a more loving woman than Paula Deen, so leave your unappreciative comments to yourself.
theladycancook at 11:09PM on 04/15/08
I have a problem with those that are saying all these NEGATIVE things about what Paula Deen is cooking, how she's cooking it!!! If you don't eat real southern cooking then don't watch the show!! Paula's not forcing you to eat her food!! Alot of things that Rachel Ray cook I would NEVER eat! But I don't go around putting her down, because everyone has to make a living so hey, thats there way! Paula loves cooking and I enjoy all of her shows and I cook her recipes all the time. My family loves Paula!! I pray one day I will get to meet her in person! We love you in WEST Palm beach Paula!! FYI- Raw meat can kill you too! Think first before speaking.
#1 PAULA DEEN FAN!!!!!!
lovetenfoe at 4:48PM on 04/17/08
lovetenfoe - ITA with you. I love Paula. I met her in person when she was here in Tampa last year. What a sweet lady. I read her book and realized, she's one of us! I've tried several of her recipes that I like and subscribe to her wonderful magazine - I can say, They Are Great! For the Naysayers out there - If you don't like her, then CHANGE THE CHANNEL!! Jeez - like the saying goes - "Life's Too Short For The Dumb Junk", you know?
carol107 at 2:18PM on 05/07/08
Next weeks show will feature Paula wearing a sensitive microphone over her heart so that we can all hear her aorta clogging up while she cooks.
Cholinesterase at 4:03PM on 05/12/08
As a "healthy cook" I watch what we eat and prepare things in the healthiest possible way, but this weekend at the farmer's market I was attacked by a memory of my Mother and Grandmother and those amazing vegetable suppers they made in the summer. The idea that vegetables should be steamed and crisp was anathema to those ladies and I got a craving for green beans and new potatoes ( used Paula Deen's recipe cause I didn't write down my Mother's) with salt pork and bacon grease (yes I had to go locate those things in the grocery store!), sliced tomatoes, squash casserole ( with butter and cracker crumbs and cheese...lots of cheese), maninated cucumbers and onions, icy cold watermelon and cantaloupe. Today I have huge guilt that I did it and am headed to the gym to do penance, but OMG it was good!
ocarol at 10:13AM on 06/02/08
Do some of you people just watch these shows because you've run out of everyday things in your lives to "crab" about. I agree with "turn the channel" I'm a Paula fan, no I don't fix everything she creates. She is pure entertainment though. And.... which one of you are such a perfect specimen of human figure that you feel the need to even comment on the physical features of another human being? Your jealous the women is successful while seeming to enjoy life. Get over it. Cook her recipes or don't. Watch her show, or don't. Get your own life, you might be happier.
prepress2300 at 9:12AM on 06/03/08
As a Southern belle, born and bred, and having lived in Georgia for 45 years, I have to say that everyone in my family agrees that Paula puts on a lot of that drawl. In all my years I have never heard ANYONE talk like she does, unless they are parodying ignorant Southerners. But hey, it seems to be getting her what she wants - lots of attention.
As for her recipes, they too are mostly for show. Southerners know about serum cholesterol, triglycerides, and diabetes. Yes, we have regional favorites, but they wouldn't make Yankees gawk and watch a show. Folks, "that's entertainment," I suppose.
For a true slice of Southern cuisine, please pick up a copy of Southern Living magazine or one of their cookbooks. For a funnier parody of Southern rednecks, watch reruns of "HeeHaw."

Dean: "I'm gettin' fatter by the day. I just hate my arterae. I'll plug 'em up and make 'em die, 'cause everything I eat is fried."
bmcc9498 at 7:25AM on 07/12/08
So what? No one is forcing you to make it and eat it. Its not harmful to eat things like this once in awhile, and in moderation. If you don't like her, don't watch her. RELAX. Besides butter is PURE FAT already anyway. Aren't there more important things in the world to b**ch about?
crumpet at 11:35PM on 07/16/08
Alright people...first, yes it is true Paula's son Bobby joked about the "deep-friend butter" on her Chefography episode, however it wasn't any member of the family that came up with the recipe, it was a loyal fan and viewer. This viewer showed Paula how to make the recipe on her show "Paula's Party," where even Paula exclaimed "THIS IS SICK!" LOL. Ok, so that bit is square away...
Next, everyone that is complaining about Paula's use of REAL ingredients such as butter, whole milk, cream, eggs, etc...that is how humans have been eating for many centuries and they survived just fine. We were not meant to eat or grow accustomed to the "partially hydrogenated," heavily preserved, artificial, genetically modified, altered and manipulated, processed and high-sodium monstrosities we consume now. It isn't natural, and that's why Type II Diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and other such uglies have taken hold of our present world and RUN with us!
Lastly, I highly doubt anyone does eat like that on a daily basis, including Ms. Deen and her family, and it would be quite silly to assume they do! And as far as her TV persona, HELLO, it's purpose is for entertainment and the woman is doing her job...and well. Obviously, or you all wouldn't feel the need to discuss her to this degree. She overcame a lot and is now being blessed with success and happiness. I admire her for it.
Ok, now I'm done...lol.
LilMissNY22 at 1:08AM on 07/31/08
now i usually try to eat healthy, and like most healthy eaters i have my days where i dont stress about it and eat fattier foods...but BUTTER BALLS!?!? I can never get through 5 minutes of Paula's show without changing the channel in disgust(this goes for Emeril too) America is the fattest country in the world and with people like paula and emeril proliferating our TV screens i can see why.
i just think its sad that gut busting chefs get prime time spots while healthy chef's (Ellie Kriegr) get crappy time slots
hoff_83 at 1:12PM on 08/09/08
This woman makes me want to vomit. I swear to god they turn up her mic the second she starts tasting the food and makes the most disgusting sounds while eating. I do not want to hear a fat person breath heavily and smack there food around their blubbery gullets in restaurants and I sure as hell don't want to hear big mama butter balls over there do it on tv. Her food is gross, disgusting, and vile. It makes my mother's reeses cups addiction seem like a healthy diet. Jesus Christ. I don't care how humble and jolly this bitch is. She should have never gotten a tv show.
flooky at 8:45PM on 08/26/08
Hey flooky.. you might want to consider adding a little fat to your diet. Maybe then you wouldn't be such a snarky old bat. You said Paula makes you want to vomit... as much as being fat disgusts you, vomiting probably comes easy to you. You are such an opinionated, rude moron. If you don't like Paula, turn off the t.v. and go vomit your tofu up.
floridagirl at 1:11PM on 08/31/08
Come on people. Fat(s) are not the problem, except for trans fats. If your liver and gall bladder are working properly you can easily digest the fat.
The problem with this is the calories, if you are counting such things. A little butter-ball (not the turkey) every now and then is good for the soul.
(The gall bladder is a small pear-shaped organ on the underside of the liver that is used to store bile. Bile is made in the liver and is stored in the gall bladder until it is needed to help the digestion of fat.)
The sun rises and sets on more than your opinions.
MakingSense at 6:59AM on 09/02/08
I have seen Paula at numerous events and parties and she is genuinely vivacious and her accent is real. She talks, laughs, and flirts with everybody. Don't be a hater!
TybeeSherri at 7:29PM on 09/23/08
I love Paula! She is a genuine and caring person. If you are "grossed" out by what she is preparing, or with receipies she's sharing with us, don't watch or prepare her food. Simple as that. Why put yourself thru all that?
Keep up the great work Paula!
cook42 at 1:10PM on 09/24/08
I love Paula Deen. She is one of my heros. She is comfort. She reminds me of what my what my mother did in her kitchen all of her life. My mom lived to be 94. My dad till he ws 89 when a drug taking driver killed him. If you don't like the way she cooks or what she cooks, don't listen to her. You've got a remote control, use it. "Lettuce" not forget that you've got a choice.....
mudpie1 at 12:48AM on 11/29/08
This is such a problem with humanity. Judging always judging others.
No one can kill you with food without your permission!
I eat a low fat diet, that is my choice. I absolutely love watching Paula Dean. She is wonderful and fun loving person. I find myself smiling and laughing when she is on tv.
Paula so loves to cook and she loves to eat her high fat recipes.
I induldge myself by watching her eat it. She makes recipes that SHE LOVES. When I am interested in a dessert, I modify it.......hello you can subsitue heavy cream for milk etc. Don't accuse her of killing you, I'm sick of people that blame others for their health issues. Paula Dean eats what she loves to eat and if you don't like it OH you can change the channel.
Luvcooking13 at 1:11PM on 12/09/08
@Luvcooking13: THE PDITTKU series is a bit of a running gag on SE. We sort of grudgingly love and respect Ms. Dean for her over-the-top-ness.
Adam Kuban at 1:24PM on 12/09/08
What is wrong with you people? Live a little!!!
Paula Deen makes homestyle cooking. What is up with these post of where can I find Creme Fraise or other European products?
You live in America don't you!!!
Eat American and shut up.
What is wrong with a lady cooking on tv?
You are all way to analytical and judgemental.
Quit sucking the happiness out of life.

Didn't read the article. Oops!
But, after reading some of these posts, I am not sure a lot of other people have either.
There is a lot of truly sounding negativity on Paula and on Southern food in general!
This food is not meant to be eaten everyday!
But, neither is fast food, junk food, or any other high-calorie foods.
I am not sure that a lot of people that posted are getting the joke either.
Some of the posts come off as down right mean!
sarahstephking at 7:19PM on 12/09/08
@sarahstephking: You're right. I think we may close this thread. There's not really much more to say here.

BrieBryant at 5:58PM on 12/23/08
I have been eating for close to 5 years a low carb diet. I eat tons of fat, butter, eggs, red meat, pork chops, veges galore. Have not eaten one bite of sugar, flour, rice, bread in this entire time. Not one cheat. I am not over weight, I am very healthy. So you roll your eyes and say, Wow her cholesterol must be very high. Not so. I recently had my cholesterol checked and was told they could be framed and put on a wall as being ideal. Fat is not the evil it is combining fat with high carbs that cause great problems. No I will not eat deep fried butter balls not because it is butter but because it has bread crumbs in the recipe. I love Paula, I love the South and I love southern cooking just the low carb way.
Doxielvr3 at 1:23PM on 01/09/09
It's hard to watch Paula Deen when she is making a dish or chicken soup.
Whatever the recipe is, I have trouble getting thru her programs. No. 1 She talks over making the food and her spittal goes right into the food! Yuck!
It is not professional at all. No. 2 she tastes everything with the spoon or
fork she is using. So gross! She does not show great hygine when cooking. Her dna is going into everything she makes when talking over preparations. I would not want to eat anything she makes! At least talk
away from the dish being prepared and don't touch the dog, or your hair.
Never put the dish cloth over your shoulders either...all that hair and who know what else sitting on the shoulders. Totally grosses me right out!
Hope she takes some advice and changes many of her way's!!!
Keepitclean at 11:54AM on 01/23/09
people seriously...butter mixed with cream cheese isn't that crazy...if any of you have ever eaten cheesecake..guess what? its got both butter and cream cheese..only thing not there is the deep frying that paula added! :)

you people really need to get a grip.. its not like shes forcing you to eat any of her foods and she will tell you herself that she puts a lot of butter in her food.. i mean seriously butter and cream cheese isn't half as bad as deep fried ice cream or deep fried candy bars and twinkies.. and yes people really do fry these things or how bout Duck Confit (sp?) which is duck boiled and or baked covered in duck fat..lol fatty unhealthy recipes have been around forever, its up to us to learn self control and portion control..lol

Its real and its here... (as disgusting as it is)
Paula's Fried Butter Balls
2 sticks butter 2 ounces cream cheese Salt and pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
Peanut oil, for frying
Cream the butter, cream cheese, salt and pepper together with an electric mixer until smooth. Using a very small ice cream scoop, or melon baller, form 1-inch balls of butter mixture and arrange them on a parchment or waxed paper lined sheet pan. Freeze until solid. Coat the frozen balls in flour, egg, and then bread crumbs and freeze again until solid.
When ready to fry, preheat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
Fry balls for 10 to 15 seconds until just light golden. Drain on paper towels before serving.

Whats the difference between this recipe and deep fried mozarella or deep frying whole turkeys or chickens (before baking) or even Krispy Kremes which are deep fried TWICE?? All of which I cannot stomach.
