Preparation method
- In a saucepan, combine the milk, mayonnaise, salt, and fresh herbs

- When the mixture begins to boil, gradually add the flour, stirring constantly
- Continue cooking and stirring until the dough pulls away from the bottom of the pan, forming a smooth ball
- Remove the dough from the pan and spread it on a clean, cool surface (like marble or a countertop) to cool
- In another saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat
- Sauté the diced onion in the oil until golden
- Add the ground beef and salt, cooking until the meat is done and any excess liquid has evaporated
- Let the meat mixture cool slightly
- Incorporate the sautéed ground beef into the cooled dough and mix well until all ingredients are fully combined
- Shape the croquettes as desired
- Prepare a breading station: beat the eggs in one bowl and place the breadcrumbs in another
- Dip each croquette first in the beaten egg, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs
- Heat plenty of vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer
- Fry the croquettes in hot oil until golden brown and crispy
- Remove the croquettes with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil
