The people in Portlandia pickle it, and the people from Food Republic deep-fry it. Honestly their is nothing they won,t batter and fry. When I heard that they deep-fried Coke I had to find a recipe. I found one by Denise Gee and Robert Peacock. Since Abel’s recipe is a secret, this comes pretty dadgum close to what he invented in 2006 — a concoction of fried Coca-Cola batter that sold 10,000 cups in just two weeks. Reprinted with permission from Sweet on Texas. I have never tried this one day I would love to make this but it seams so hard. Now a days people will fry anything I couldn't believe it until I saw it.

Servings: 6

Ingredients

3 eggs

2 cups Coca-Cola

1/4 cup granulated sugar

3 to 4 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

vegetable oil for deep frying

powdered sugar

Pure cola syrup

 

Directions: 

1. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, then add the Coca-Cola and granulated sugar.
2. Sift 2 cups of the flour, the baking powder, and salt and add to the Coca-Cola mixture. Mix while adding more flour, until the batter is smooth and not too thick.
3. Heat the oil to 375°F in a deep fryer.
4. Drop 1 1/2-inch dough balls into the fryer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden. Remove them with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
5. Sprinkle the fried Coke balls with powdered sugar while they are still hot, and douse with cola syrup.
6. Garnish with whipped cream and maraschino cherries, if desired, and serve.
