Where to find ingredients
Find parmesan, all-purpose flour, eggs, and seasonings in local supermarkets. For Minas or Prato cheese, look for mild, semi-firm cow's milk cheese as a substitute if these specific varieties are unavailable. Table cream (creme de leite) can be found in the baking or international aisles.
Preparation method
- Begin by combining both types of cheese, the eggs, black pepper, and the table cream in a bowl, mixing everything very well
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour and baking powder, incorporating them until the dough reaches the ideal consistency for handling
- Shape the dough into small spheres using two teaspoons for assistance
- Deep-fry the balls in hot oil until they are well-browned and crispy
Observations
These bite-sized treats are perfect for gatherings, parties, or a quick snack. The key to success is mixing the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, workable dough that is easy to shape and fries up to a perfect golden brown finish.
