Instructions

  1. 1
    Jamón Béchamel: Melt 2.8 oz (80g) cannabis butter in a heavy pot over medium heat. Stir in 3.5 oz (100g) flour and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly (roux, no color). Add 20 fl oz (600ml) hot whole milk in 3 additions — always wait until completely smooth before adding the next portion. Finely mince 5.3 oz (150g) Jamón Serrano (or Jamón Ibérico for luxury version) and stir in. Season with nutmeg, salt, and white pepper. Simmer on low heat for 20 minutes until very thick — you should be able to draw a line with a spoon that holds its shape.
  2. 2
    Chill and shape: Pour béchamel onto an oiled sheet pan or shallow dish and smooth it out. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface (prevents a skin from forming). Let it set in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Once completely cold: shape into oval croquetas using two spoons or damp hands (about 2x1.2 inches/5x3cm). Uniform size = uniform frying.
  3. 3
    Breading (Vienna-style): Set up three bowls: 1) flour, 2) 2 eggs + splash of milk whisked together, 3) panko breadcrumbs. Coat each croqueta first in flour (tap off excess), then in egg, then generously in panko. Double bread for extra crunch: after the first egg dip, dip again in egg and panko. Place finished croquetas on a sheet pan and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  4. 4
    Frying: Heat olive oil or neutral oil to 356°F (180°C) (use a thermometer!). Fry croquetas in small batches — no more than 4–5 at a time (prevents temperature drop). Fry for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately — warm croquetas with hot, creamy béchamel filling are the experience. Cannabis dosage: Cannabis butter in the béchamel = evenly distributed per piece.
