As much as I enjoy creme brulee and delicious pastries I would trade them all for a plate of warm goolgoola’s any day!
My grandmother used to make these for me as a kid, and if I’m being honest she’d make them for me as an adult too! She made the best goolgoolas and they’d always turn out perfectly round which amazed me because I still struggle with getting them shaped perfectly even after years of trying.
My Recipe is slightly different than hers, it contains mashed pumpkin, mixed spice, and cinnamon – YUM!
I’m pleased to say that after much trial and error with this recipe I have finally got it right, they are so delicious and got wiped out within minutes – this recipe is a definite must-try!
