Instructions
Preparation Time: 40 minutes
- Heat the liquids: In a saucepan, combine the milk, margarine, and chicken bouillon cube. Bring to a boil.
- Add the flour: Once boiling, add the flour all at once and stir vigorously until a smooth dough forms.
- Cool and knead: Remove the dough from the pan and transfer it to a flat surface. Let it cool slightly.
- Knead and shape: Knead the dough briefly, then start shaping it into small croquettes or “coxinhas,” resembling teardrop shapes.
- Fry until golden: Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pot. Fry the croquettes in hot oil until golden brown.
- Serve hot: Remove the croquettes from the oil, drain on paper towels, and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious, crispy coxinhas!
These croquettes are a savory delight, perfect as appetizers or snacks, with a crispy exterior and a soft, flavorful interior.
