I just tried to make them and they are absolutely delicious. I changed the recipe a bit though. Instead of jalapeños I used spring onions 'cause I don't like the taste of peppers. I also baked them instead of frying them since my mom has a high cholesterol level and doesn't really eat fried food. Anyways, they turned out super yummy and they were sooooo easy to make. Thanks so much for this amazing recipe, Gemma. I can't wait to try out different flavours soon :)

[@cyberqueen7784]

I've been subscribed to your channel since I started my freshman year of college. I also find it exciting to have something instead of sweet once in a while. My best friend loves savory food more than sweet. Despite the rest of my family loving sweets, my Chinese mom doesn't like sugar that much but strangely loves melted cheese, spicy food, and breakfast food like donuts. This might be the recipe for her.

what a great change from a “sweet” treat! PS: Love your accent! 😊

[@user-nm7nl5jh2j]

I love this recipe! My family doesn't eat fried bready snacks that often so I use this recipe to bake a savory bread loaf. I do use my local spicy chillis instead of jalapeños (even the fresh jalapeños I can manage to get here in Korea turn out to be much milder!). The bread goes so well with cream cheese and bacon! I've even tried it with a homemade honey garlic spread (minced garlic, butter or olive oil, grated parmesan cheese, and a drizzle of honey, microwaved and mixed with parsley) and that was good too. I saw the older comments on this video and here in Korea, we have a few old-school (more of my parents' generation) fried wheat-based desserts, such as "doughnuts"(often using glutinous rice flour for the dough), with or without red bean paste for the filling, and kkwabaegi, a long piece of dough that has been joined into a ring and twisted before frying. Both are best served fresh and piping hot, either plain or dusted with granulated sugar.

I'm thinking of that as well. Think it's wise when adding bacon to pre-cook/fry them to get rid of the excess fat. Or maybe use ham or a well trimmed bacon instead. I had a colleague who made cheese bacon fritters once. A bit greasy but it was ooooh so good!!!
