Add 3 tablespoons of flour and mix everything with a fork until combined.

Heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat.

Shape the mixture into small patties, about 50 g each, rolling them in flour to prevent sticking.

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the pan.

Cook for about 3 minutes until the bottom is slightly set, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on low heat until golden brown all over.

Remove from the pan and place on a plate lined with paper towel to soak up extra oil.

Let cool slightly before serving.
