Instructions
1. Soak saltfish for 24hrs changing the water twice.

3. In a large bowl add flour, baking powder , adobo, all purpose seasoning, garlic powder and onion powder. Add water a bit at a time. You do not want a runny batter, if batter is too liquified add a bit more flour. You are looking for a thick consistency.
