I've found several recipes for cream croquettes here, even tried making a few, but I've had to make my own since I've had to make way too many adjustments to the existing recipes I've found to accommodate our tastes. 🇯🇵🦀

Steps

1½ hours

1

Melt shortening/lard/butter on medium heat. Combine with flour, mixing well until a paste is formed. Add milk and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring, until mixture thickens.
2

Remove from heat, mix in crabsticks and chill for at least one hour. Shape into croquettes.
3

Heat oil to 175°C. Dredge the croquettes in flour, egg, and panko, coating fully. Fry until golden brown, turning occasionally, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain excess oil on paper towels.
