Creole women had figured out how to make extra money with cooked rice. There are versions now that use dry yeast instead of natural fermentation, and some call for baking powder, a nod to time-pressed cooks. But for the traditional, distinctive flavor (something San Franciscans with their sourdough know well) letting the calas batter rise overnight is not optional. Danno has an excellent recipe on his blog, NOLA Cuisine. [...] […] Calas depend on a simple batter created out out of need and ingenuity.

I'm from the Panhandle of Florida and once a year around Mardi Gras we would have all types of Creole style foods available. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. Looks like I've got some cooking to do. Sheltie Girl @ Gluten A Go Go It’s been years since I’ve thought of calas.

It has been years since I created a Cala Women (you know the story "Katrina"). Well, recently I received an order for her and I was checking the sculpting of my Calas and I began searching for photos of calas to see if my sculpted Calas were on target, and I found your website. I think your site is very elegant and informative. I would love to add a link to your Cala recipe page on my Cala Woman Doll Page (http://southernelegance.net/doll-cala-lady.html). Please let me know if this is possible. I look forward to hearing from you. Years ago in 1987, I created a line of Original Louisiana Dolls, one of them is the Cala Woman Doll.

Since I'm living in China, I'm always looking for a good recipe to use up extra rice left over from dinners... and this looks amazing! Now if only I can track down some powdered sugar.
