Steps

  • Melt butter in a large saucepan, whisk in flour, and cook for 3 minutes.

  • Stir in breadcrumbs, both types of ham, and parsley.
  • Chill the mixture in the fridge for 4 hours.
  • Shape the mixture into 7cm cylinders.
  • Coat each cylinder in flour, then beaten egg, and finally panko breadcrumbs.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fat fryer to 170°C.
  • Fry the croquetas in batches until golden-brown and drain on kitchen paper.
