  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp of salt

Instructions

For Baccala' Fritters:

  • Cut the baccalà in 3-inch pieces and soak in cold water for 3 days. You’ll need to change water morning and night.
  • Remove from water, add 8 cups of water in a medium pot and bring to a boil. Add the baccalà and cook for 12 to 15 minutes. Drain on a paper towel and set aside.
  • For the batter, in a large bowl mix flour, salt, baking powder. Using a whisk mix for 30 seconds, it will make fritters/zeppole lighter.
  • Add the eggs and mix, slowly add the milk for a smooth batter.
  • Fresh cracked pepper and chopped parsley. The batter should be thick and smooth.
  • Shred the smaller pieces of the baccalà (about one pound) and add to the batter.(No need to rise, they can be fried immediately).
  • In a wok or deep frying pan add oil and bring to 365 degrees Fahrenheit (185 Celsius) using a spoon and helping with another drop tablespoon full of dough in the oil. Fry until golden. Enjoy them hot!

Direction for Baccalà salad:

  • Use the larger pieces of baccalà, add oil, the boiled baccalà water, 2 cloves of garlic, the olives, the hot chili peppers, garnish with parsley, a squeeze of fresh lemon. It’s ready to serve and enjoy!
