Step-by-step
Choose your robot:
- Put the papelon and water in the mixing bowl and dissolve 6 min/90 degrees/speed 2 forming a syrup.
- Add the ripe plantain in pieces and blend 15 sec/speed 5.
- Add the grated cheese, anise and salt and mix 10 sec/speed 3.
- Add the precooked corn flour and knead 1 min/dough speed until a workable dough forms.
- Let the dough rest 5 minutes so it hydrates completely.
- Shape little rolls and join them at the ends, giving them a ring or figure-eight shape.
- Fry the mandocas in hot oil at 170 degrees for 4 minutes until golden and drain on paper.
Tips
- If the dough sticks, dampen your hands with a little water.
- Serve them hot at breakfast spread with butter or cream.
- The sweet and savory balance of the papelon with the cheese makes them irresistible.
