Jersey Wonders

Warm and fragrant Jersey wonders (also known as des mervelles) are tasty snacks similar to doughnuts, made with a combination of flour, butter, sugar, and eggs. The dough is traditionally twisted before being fried in hot oil until golden brown. Unlike doughnuts, wonders are never filled with jam nor coated in sugar. Traditionally, Jersey housewives used to prepare these golden treats as the tide went out. Nowadays, they are a staple at Jersey festivals and fairs.
