- Start by combining both types of cheese, the eggs, black pepper, and table cream in a bowl, mixing everything very well.
- Gradually add the wheat flour and baking powder, incorporating them until you reach the ideal consistency of a pliable dough.
- Shape into small spheres using two teaspoons as an aid.
- Fry the balls in hot oil until they are deep golden and crispy.
Observations
This recipe is perfect for snacking during gatherings or as a quick bite. The secret lies in thoroughly mixing the ingredients until you achieve a homogeneous dough that is easy to shape and fry until golden brown.
