I noticed that bollas are called drop doughnuts nowadays. I grew up knowing these as Bollas and a bolla it will stay in my vocabulary

Batter should be a soft, dropping consistency

Place spoonfulls of mixture in hot oil and fry until golden brown.

Hint: Dip spoon in cold water to ensure that dough separates from spoon to form neatly rounded balls when dropped in oil.

For syrup: 1 cup white sugar 1 1/2 cups water Boil together until sticky, you may add more water (little by little if the sugar syrup becomes too sticky) Pour some syrup in a pan. Heat through and add bollas. Syrup bollas, one to two minutes, until glossy and sprinkle with coconut.

Delicious
