Deep Fried Cheese Balls

Source of Recipe

*


List of Ingredients

1 c. grated cheese
1 c. milk
1 c. flour
6 Tbsp. butter
salt
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
3 eggs, beaten
oil for deep frying
tomato sauce




Recipe

In a large saucepan, warm the milk and gradually add the
flour, stirring constantly so that no lumps are formed. Add
the butter and when the mixture thickens, remove it from the
heat and add the cheese. Blend well. Add salt to taste, the
cayenne pepper and the beaten eggs. When cool, the mixture
should be thick enough to shape into balls. Heat the oil to
350 degrees. Make approximately 24 balls the size of a lemon from the
mixture and drop a few of them at a time into the hot oil.
Deep fry until the balls are a golden brown on all sides (about
two minutes). Drain. Serve immediately with tomato sauce.
