Bacalaitos
Ingredients
1 lb Salted Codfish (Bacalao)
2 cups Flour
2 tsp. Baking Powder
2-3 tbsp HOMEMADE LATIN SEASONING
2½ cups Water
Vegetable Oil (for frying)
Directions
- Place Codfish in a sauce pan covered in water. Boil for 5-8 minutes, drain, and do the same process two more times to get rid of the salt on the codfish.
- Cool and drain, pick off skin and bones if any.
- Prepare your batter. In a bowl, make a batter by whisking flour, baking powder, HOMEMADE LATIN SEASONING & water together. Once smooth, mix in shredded fish. You’ll want a medium thick batter (not runny).
- Add your codfish and get ready to fry.
- In a frying pan or skillet, heat oil until hot. Place two heaping tablespoons of batter into the fryer/skillet and fry till both sides are golden brown. Drain on a paper towel.
