Recipe(tried): Almojabanas (Rice Fritters)

This recipe is so easy & so Good. You can use it as appetizer or as a side dish. My grandmother always had some in the kitchen, covered by another dish (no aluminum foil nor refrigeration during those years), ready for serving any person who visited her home. They are great with chocolate or coffee or served with food.

Almoj banas
(rice fritters)

1/2 cup wheat flour
1/4 cup water
1 cup rice flour
4 whole eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoonfuls salt
4 tablespoonfuls melted butter
2 teaspoonfuls baking powder
1 cup grated queso blanco (Puerto Rican white cheese)
2 tablespoonfuls grated parmesan cheese
1 pint frying oil

Almoj banas are delicious, cheese-flavored rice fritters. You may substitute the Puerto Rican white cheese for Swiss or mozzarella, and the taste will be slightly different. Mix water and wheat flour, blending thoroughly. Add whole eggs, one at a time, blending in. Slowly add the remaining ingredients, blending thoroughly to assure an even paste. Allow to rest for about thirty minutes. Fry in a deep frypan by dropping in spoonfuls in very hot frying oil. Remove when golden brown. Remove excess oil by blotting with absorbent paper. Serve warm.
