Tips


- The beef can be replaced with chuck roast.
- Store the meat broth in the refrigerator and remove the layer of fat that will form over the broth before using.
- Use water and meat broth at room temperature.
- To avoid sogginess and cracks, reduce the number of fried items in each batch.
- For breading, use the minimum amount of liquids possible.
- It is possible to substitute raw eggs with liquid egg for breading.

- Freezing
* The snacks can be frozen for up to 2 months at -18°C.
* To fry frozen snacks, the oil should be heated to 200°C at the start of frying.
* For snacks over 50 g, thawing is necessary for the filling to be heated as well.

- Molding Machine
* When using molding machines, reduce the amount of milk by 5% and water by 5%.
* The molds and fittings of the molding machine should be greased with general-purpose margarine.
* To adjust the size of the snacks, use only the dough for testing, which can then be reused.
