Bunuelitos de Jamon
(Ham Fritters) Preparation:

Method:

Sift the flour into a large bowl and add enough water to make a batter about the consistency of single cream. Stir in the beaten egg and the baking powder then add the ham and the onion and season to taste.

Heat enough olive oil in a deep frying pan or wok to give you a 6mm depth. When the oil begins to smoke drop the cod mixture by the tablespoon and fry until well browned, turning once (about 12 minutes total cooking time). Transfer to a plate covered with kitchen paper and continue cooking the remaining fritters until all the mixture has gone.
