- Now one at a time dip the rolls in to the all-purpose flour slurry, drain and roll in to the breadcrumbs ensuring every part of roll is coated evenly.
- Repeat till all the rolls are breaded.
- You can at this point refrigerate the rolls till you want to serve.
- When ready to serve, heat oil on medium low and deep fry these croquettes.
- Alternately you can also freeze the rolls - line them on to baking tray and once frozen, save into ziplock bags for later use.
