Instructions
- 1

- 3

- 5
Fry each disc for 2–3 minutes per side until deep golden and cooked through.

Chef's tips
Keep the oil at a steady medium heat; too hot and the outside burns before the centre cooks.
Ingredient substitutions
- vegetable oil → lard or shortening for frying
Storage
Keep leftovers covered at room temperature for up to a day.
Reheating
Reheat in a dry pan over low heat until warmed through.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Oil too hot browns the outside before the inside cooks
- •Discs too thick stay doughy in the middle
