Where to find ingredients
Look for fresh produce, dairy, and pantry staples at your local grocery store. Specialty cheeses and deli meats can often be found in the deli section of larger supermarkets or at dedicated cheese shops. Frying oil and breadcrumbs are standard items in most grocery aisles.
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, like a sink or countertop, and knead it well while it's still warm
- Roll out the dough with your hands or 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 and then in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are well coated
- Heat enough oil in a frying pan 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
