The recipe

Ingredients

Contains: wheat (auto-detected from the ingredients and method; we can miss things, so check labels)

Also mentioned in the method: bread

Directions

  1. Lay croquettes in a frying basket and plunge deeply into hot lard.

  2. Fry until they are a beautiful brown, then remove and let drain on a pan.

  3. Transfer croquettes to brown paper to absorb excess grease.

  4. Serve on a folded napkin on a platter.

  5. If not ready to serve, keep them warm on the brown paper at the mouth of the oven.

  6. To test if the lard is hot enough, add a small piece of bread; if it browns immediately, it's ready.
