New Orleans Calas

New Orleans native Charlie Andrews demonstrates how to make New Orleans Calas. Calas is a popular breakfast item that has origins in Louisiana and in Africa. After slavery laws were passed, the Africans were able to purchase their freedom, buy property and sell items. Street vendors mostly Creole women sold Callas with coffee or cafe au lait. The Callas even became traditionally served on Mardi Gras and first communion. This recipe makes 14 to 17 medium-sized callas. It's quick, flavorful and absolutely delicious. Hope you all will give this recipe a try.
