Preparation method
- In a saucepan, boil the milk with the butter and salt
- When the mixture comes to a boil, add the 2 cups of all-purpose flour all at once
- Stir vigorously with a spoon until a homogeneous dough forms
- Continue cooking over low heat, kneading the dough in the same pan, until it pulls away from the bottom
- Transfer the dough to a clean, smooth surface, such as a countertop, and knead it well while it is still warm
- Roll out the dough by hand or with a rolling pin to a thin thickness
- Using the rim of a glass, cut circles out of the dough
- Place a portion of chopped ham and chopped mozzarella in the center of half of the circles
- Cover with the remaining circles, pressing the edges to seal and form the risoles
- Dip each risole in the beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs, ensuring they are well covered
- Heat enough oil in a skillet and fry the risoles until golden brown on all sides
- Remove the fried risoles with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil
