I tried this twice, thinking I had something wrong the first time. Both were a total disaster. The pea mixture sunk to the bottom and I was left with a little bit of deep fried flour. My Key West born and raised husband was very disappointed.

Hi Diana, sorry to hear that you failed twice. I have to make this recipe, and to see what will happen. Will let you know my result!
about 10 years agoTry removing the pea skins after the overnight soak. Combine peas and 8 cloves of garlic and 1/2 an onion. Process until smooth. Add 2 eggs and 1/2 tsp, of baking powder. Fry in a shallow pan with 2 cups of oil. Use 2 teaspoons to make drop bollos. Fry until golden brown. Drain in paper towels and salt to taste.
