In a bowl, mix the huazontles with double cream cheese and salt. Form the patties and gently compress them so they hold together. Dust with flour and set aside. Beat the eggs until they reach the ribbon stage, which is called ribbon stage because when lifting the spatulas from the mixer, the mixture can form a ribbon without deforming. Add REXAL® baking powder, flour, and salt. Dip the huazontle patties in the previous mixture and fry in hot oil. Place on absorbent paper to remove excess fat.
