Mother’s Tips

Do not add eggs to hot dough.

The dough can be placed in a piping bag with a nozzle and the balls shaped on baking paper, leaving a distance of 2 cm between balls.

Do not remove the hot tray from the oven. Turn off the flame, leave the oven door slightly ajar and wait for the oven to cool. If you remove the hot pan from the oven; the Carolinas will wither.

The ice cream flavor can be replaced with one of your choice. The carolinas can also be filled with sweets.

There is the option of purchasing ready-made, unfilled carolinas in health food stores/stores or open-air markets.

Approximate yield of 15 servings.
