We were in Spain and had Croquetas nearly every day. Everyone had different Croquetas but we especially liked the ones made with a béchamel. All of the recipes I could find where written in a way that seems to follow a laborious production technique. This simplifies things quite a bit
The final béchamel was very loose but it held together well and gave a very creamy texture. I wouldn’t change anything.
