Preparation method
- In a saucepan, bring the milk, butter, and salt to a boil.
- Once boiling, add the 2 cups of flour all at once.
- Stir vigorously with a sturdy spoon until the mixture forms a smooth, uniform dough.
- Continue cooking over low heat, kneading the dough directly in the pan until it pulls away cleanly from the bottom.
- Transfer the dough onto a clean, smooth surface and knead well while it is still warm.
- Roll out the dough thinly using your hands or a rolling pin.
- Use the rim of a glass to cut out circular discs from the dough.
- Place a portion of the chopped ham and mozzarella in the center of half of the discs.
- Top with the remaining dough discs, pressing the edges firmly to seal the risoles.
- Dip each risole into the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly in breadcrumbs.
- Heat enough oil in a frying pan and deep-fry the risoles until golden brown on all sides.
- Remove the fried snacks with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
