Origin: Madrid, Spain
Source: Anonymous, 1921
Ingredients
- béchamel sauce
- poultry breast
- jamón (cured ham)
- eggs
- sugar
- cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare a thick béchamel sauce (béchamel espesa).
- Have ready a picadillo (fine mince) of poultry breast and jamón.
- Take a small portion of this picadillo and wrap it in hot béchamel, forming a thin croquette.
- Beat the eggs and pour them into a skillet as you would for a tortilla.
- The tortilla will serve to wrap the croquette—enclose it quickly.
- When the tortilla is golden on the sides, transfer it to a serving platter lined with a napkin.
- Dust with sugar and cinnamon. They are exquisite.
