Recipe Notes

You may get more than 12 balls. 

You can use white sugar instead of brown or you can combine both. 

Make sure to fry the balls over low-medium heat so the center part will be cooked as well. 

Not all measuring cups/spoons are created equal. Please take time to check my notes regarding the measurements I use.
