Frituras Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add Water

    Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms. The consistency should be thick but pourable.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Fillings

    Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped jalapeños, chopped shrimp, chopped spinach, and chopped onions into the batter.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Frituras

    Using a spoon or small scoop, carefully drop portions of the batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the frituras from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
