Croquetas de Jamon | Cuban Style Ham Croquettes | Anitas Delights

[@jennifer.anguiano]

I miss Miami croquetas! My mom makes them every once in a while for special occasions, but complains that it’s hard to find the “right” galleta molida or bread crumbs for the recipe. We live in North Georgia now and I feel that the regular commercial bread crumbs just taste a bit off. I will try your recipe soon. They look so good! Thanks for sharing your passion.

[@AnitasDelights]

I hope you try it and like it! I find some brands do taste a bit off. You can always make your own galleta molida by pulsing crackers in a food processor until very fine. 🥰

@@AnitasDelights thanks for the suggestion. I did make them and your version with the panko bread crumbs really worked well. They were great! Thanks so much. I hope you keep sharing recipes with us. Btw...In the past week I have made your churros like 5 times. They are so easy and delicious!

@@jennifer.anguiano oh yess!!! Those churros and dangerous 🤤🤤🤤 i make them every chance I get as well. I’m glad you loved them ❤️

[@sharijd726]

I miss these so much since moving out of SoFla. I must try this recipe!! ❤

[@AnitasDelights]

Please do!

[@leemorales80]

She’s right about the difference. As i Mexican i prefer the Cuban style more because it takes me back to my childhood in south Florida

[@COSMOSoFLOWERS]

What can you use to replace the milk?

[@jessicadavalos265]

What kind of ham do I buy? Is it the small ham that comes uncut, the tin ham (like spam) or does it matter? And what flavor? Smoked, Cooked, etc... Sorry for all the questions I'm gonna make these & want to make them authentic as possible. 😊 Thank you

[@TheLisaDeesDelightsShow]

So yummy 🤤

[@AnitasDelights]

Thanks Lisa!

[@nikib1539]

Do u like to use smoked ham or regular?

[@AnitasDelights]

To me, it doesn't really matter. It depends on what I have on hand, but the smoke ham does change the flavor slightly. Delicious nonetheless!!!

Good job, girl❤❤❤

[@palomahealing5073]

It's all in the way you make the Bechamel? If you make it Classic French style, it'll be creamy, if not then it's Cuban style.

[@AnitasDelights]

Yes exactly!

[@jeffreyerickson7105]

I've tried this recipe twice and I have trouble forming the croquetas. They are very sticky and tend to fall apart in the egg wash. Do you have any suggestions?

[@AnitasDelights]

Sorry to hear that! Well, you have two options, try cooking the dough a bit longer next time, and also make sure you allow it to cool completely before you start forming them. You can even try freezing the dough for a bit as well, but make sure it's not completely frozen and is still pliable. I hope this helps ☺

I watched this on my desktop, the audio was fine. Watched it again on my mobile and it’s mostly static noise.

[@Phenom-rl5pr]

Dizzle or drissle? Jaja😅😘. Looks good!

[@AnitasDelights]

Probably drizzle? 😌

[@Phenom-rl5pr]

@@AnitasDelights se ven deliciosas amor. I'm gonna try them one of these weekends. 😋

[@jgall8405]

Hi! Use the link in bio for the full recipe.

[@jaimegarcia9408]

The croquetas of jamón are spanish tradition. Not cuban

[@AnitasDelights]

Correct! But it’s also a very famous Cuban street food brought to us by Spaniards.
