Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Blending hot liquid. Let it cool a little first, fill the blender no more than a third, and hold the lid down with a folded towel. Start on the lowest speed. A stick blender in the pan is safer.

Method

  1. Combine syrups and vanilla.
  2. Gently fold in whipped cream.
  3. Refrigerate until needed.
  4. Place milk, eggs, salt, and sugar with the tortillas in a food processor, and pulse until chunky paste is achieved.
  5. Move to a mixing bowl and stir in the butter. Work fast to prevent melting.
  6. Pour oil into a 6-quart Dutch oven and heat to 375°F.
  7. Roll tortilla mixture into 1 to 1½-inch balls. Fry, 6–8 at a time, until crisp and golden brown, about 2–3 minutes.
  8. Drain on a cooling rack set above a sheet pan and let cool 1–2 minutes.
  9. Serve warm with the hazelnut chocolate dipping sauce.
