Start by introducing the recipe and the ingredients needed.

Use 500g of ground beef (patinho) that has been ground twice.

Take an old bread roll (pão do milho) and soak it in milk to soften it.

Finely chop an onion and add it to the bowl with the ground beef.

Add chopped green onion to the mixture.

Sprinkle in about 1 teaspoon of sweet paprika, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly by hand until well combined.

If the mixture is too wet, add more bread; if too dry, add more egg.

Form the mixture into small patties, wetting your hands with water to prevent sticking.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter, allowing it to melt completely.

Fry the patties in batches, ensuring they are not overcrowded in the pan.

Cook for about 10 minutes, adjusting the heat to caramelize the outside without burning them.

Add fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme while frying for added flavor.

Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serve warm with mustard or your choice of sauce.
