Execution method
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the meatballs, except the baking powder and knead well until you have a homogeneous mixture. The mixture should be slightly moist so that our meatballs become fluffy.
• Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Cover and leave the mixture in the refrigerator overnight, preferably or for 1-2 hours at least.
• Then add the baking powder and mix.
• Wearing round gloves, we shape round meatballs.
Heat plenty of oil in a pan and carefully put in the meatballs one by one. Once they get colored on one side we turn them and let them brown on the other side. Take them out on a plate lined with absorbent paper and serve.
