Dough Consistency
The dough should be smooth and pliable, not too dry or sticky, to ensure easy shaping and a good texture after frying.
Frying Temperature
Maintaining the correct oil temperature is crucial for achieving a crispy, golden-brown crust without burning the salgados. Typically, 350-375°F (175-190°C) is ideal.
Filling Preparation
The filling should be well-seasoned and cooked before being encased in the dough. This helps to prevent the salgados from becoming soggy and ensures a flavorful bite.
Draining Excess Oil
After frying, allow the salgados to drain on paper towels to remove excess oil and maintain their crispiness.
