My mom used to make those "croquettes" as a desert. It's similar to a very crispy cookie, but yet very different at the same time. You have to try it to understand. I am not sure if this recipe is a typical Congolese recipe or if other African country have a variant of it, but let me tell you, you will be addicted to this and it takes less than an hour to have a jar full of sweet, tasty and crispy croquettes! Trust me on this my foodie friend!


INGREDIENTS


  • 1 Litre : Oil (to fry in a casserole - Liter for my american foodies :))

  • 800g : All purpose flour of your choice

  • 10g : Cinnamon

  • 400g : Cold or room temperature water

  • 15g : Vanilla

  • 75g : Sugar (I use raw brown sugar and it tastes amazing. You may adjust to taste)


STEPS


1- First you need to warm up your oil in your casserole


2- Then pour the flour in a mixing bowl and add your cinnamon. Mix the two

ingredients


3- Once your oil is hot, pour roughly 80g of oil in your flour and mix it evenly

throughout. I recommend using a spatula at first not to burn yourself and once the

oil is mixed in with the flour, you can go ahead an use your hands or a food

processor, but I prefer doing it manually.


4- Remove your oil from the stove while you proceed with the next steps.


5- In a mug, add the water sugar and vanilla. Mix it all together until the sugar has

dissolved.


6- Add the water mixture progressively to the flour and knead as you go.


7- Your dough should be elastic and no longer sticky.


8- Cut your dough and shape it to look like small baguettes, then cut small bite size

pieces.


9- Your ready to fry your pieces! Wait for your oil to be hot and start frying until golden.
