Hazırlanışı

Adım adım

  1. 1

    Place the desalted cod in a small pot and add enough cold water to cover it.

    Yaklaşık 1 dk.

    Aşçının notu: Ensure your cod is fully desalted before starting, which typically requires soaking for 24-48 hours with several water changes.

  2. 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.

    Yaklaşık 10 dk.

    Aşçının notu: Avoid boiling the cod, as simmering keeps it tender.

  3. 3

    Drain the cod and set it aside to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, flake the fish, carefully removing any remaining bones.

    Yaklaşık 8 dk.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

    Yaklaşık 2 dk.

  5. 5

    Add the lightly beaten egg and lukewarm water to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms.

    Yaklaşık 2 dk.

    Aşçının notu: Don't overmix the batter; mix just until there are no large lumps of flour.

  6. 6

    Gently fold the flaked cod, minced garlic, and chopped parsley into the batter.

    Yaklaşık 2 dk.

  7. 7

    Cover the bowl and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

    Yaklaşık 30 dk.

    Aşçının notu: Resting allows the flour to hydrate fully, resulting in a lighter-textured fritter.

  8. 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).

    Yaklaşık 5 dk.

    Aşçının notu: 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. 9

    Using two spoons, carefully drop tablespoon-sized portions of the batter into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.

    Yaklaşık 2 dk.

  10. 10

    Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until the buñuelos are puffed, golden brown, and cooked through.

    Yaklaşık 8 dk.

    Aşçının notu: Maintain a steady oil temperature to ensure they cook evenly without becoming greasy.

  11. 11

    Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked fritters to a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towels to drain.

  12. 12

    Serve immediately while hot and crisp.
