Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at local supermarkets or neighborhood markets. For cheeses like minas or prato, you may use mild semi-soft cow's milk cheese as a substitute if necessary.
Preparation method
- Begin by combining both types of cheese, the eggs, black pepper, and heavy cream in a bowl, mixing everything very well.
- Gradually add the flour and baking powder, incorporating them until the mixture reaches the consistency of a malleable dough.
- Form the dough into small spheres using two teaspoons to assist with shaping.
- Deep-fry the balls in hot oil until they are deeply golden and crispy.
Observations
This recipe is perfect for snacking during gatherings or as a quick bite. The secret lies in blending the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, uniform dough that is easy to shape and fry until perfectly golden and crispy.
