Every Spaniard promises that their mother makes the best ham croquettes. These creamy fritters are a staple of the Spanish tapas scene, and you'll find them on offer throughout the country. Luckily, they're easy enough to make at home too.

Croquetas de jamón (cured ham croquettes) are small, lightly breaded and fried bechamel fritters that include delicious Spanish cured ham. They are a sure hit as an appetizer or an afternoon snack with a glass of beer or wine. The best part is you can make the dough ahead of time and freeze it. Then, take the croquette dough out of the freezer, coat small fritters in breadcrumbs and pop them into the frying pan. If you have enough freezer space you can even freeze fully breaded and ready croquettes-- then you just have to fry!

1/2 cup/100 mL chicken broth

8 tablespoons olive oil

3/4 cup/107 grams flour

1 1/2 cups/350 mL milk

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Dash of ground pepper

1/2 cup ham (very finely hand-minced, so it can be mixed thoroughly with the dough)

2 eggs (lightly beaten with 2 teaspoons water)

1 cup breadcrumbs (for coating)

1​ bottle Spanish olive oil (for frying)

1. Heat the 8 tablespoons olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually add the milk and the chicken broth, stirring without stopping. This can take up to 30 minutes.

2. Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes and refrigerate at least 3 hours until mixture is cold. If you are preparing a day or so ahead, you can cover the mixture tightly and keep refrigerated until you are ready to fry the croquettes.

3. Pour the breadcrumbs into a small, wide bowl.

4. Beat the eggs with water in a small, wide bowl.

5. Pour enough olive oil in a medium-to-large frying pan to cover 1/2-inch deep. Heat the olive oil for frying to about 355 F.

6. Remove the croquettes with a slotted spoon and set on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.

7. Serve immediately. If croquettes will not be served immediately, place in a warm oven (200 F) for up to 30 minutes.
