Postup

Krok za krokem

1
Place the desalted cod in a small pot and add enough cold water to cover it.
Přibližně 1 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Ensure your cod is fully desalted before starting, which typically requires soaking for 24-48 hours with several water changes.
2
Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for about 10 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Přibližně 10 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Avoid boiling the cod, as simmering keeps it tender.
3
Drain the cod and set it aside to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, flake the fish, carefully removing any remaining bones.
Přibližně 8 min
4
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Přibližně 2 min
5
Add the lightly beaten egg and lukewarm water to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms.
Přibližně 2 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Don't overmix the batter; mix just until there are no large lumps of flour.
6
Gently fold the flaked cod, minced garlic, and chopped parsley into the batter.
Přibližně 2 min
7
Cover the bowl and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Přibližně 30 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Resting allows the flour to hydrate fully, resulting in a lighter-textured fritter.
8
Pour the sunflower oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed pot to a depth of about 5 cm and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Přibližně 5 min
Poznámka kuchaře: If you don't have a thermometer, the oil is ready when a small drop of batter sizzles immediately and turns golden in about 30 seconds.
9
Using two spoons, carefully drop tablespoon-sized portions of the batter into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Přibližně 2 min
10
Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until the buñuelos are puffed, golden brown, and cooked through.
Přibližně 8 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Maintain a steady oil temperature to ensure they cook evenly without becoming greasy.
11
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked fritters to a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
12
Serve immediately while hot and crisp.
