💡 Consejos de Profesional
- ✓Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature to achieve a crispy exterior without the dough becoming greasy.
- ✓Don't overcrowd the pan, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy macheteadas.
- ✓The dough can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Let it come to room temperature before rolling.
