Ingredients

  • 0.5 l Milk, whole milk

  • 60 g Butter, unsalted

  • 1 teaspoon Salt, table

  • 250 g Semolina

  • 2 piece Egg, fresh

  • 2 spoons Breadcrumbs, dried

  • pieces Oil, vegetable oil, canola

Steps

  1. Add butter and a teaspoon of salt to the milk and bring it to a boil. Cook the semolina in the boiling milk.

  2. Once the semolina is cooked, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool to lukewarm. Add the eggs and knead the mixture well. You can also use a food processor. It will form a pliable dough that doesn't stick.

  3. Cut a smaller piece from the dough and roll it with your hands into a longer log, which you then cut into croquettes of any size. Repeat the process until all the dough is used.

  4. Coat the prepared croquettes in breadcrumbs, then fry them until golden brown in oil. The oil should be heated to 170 degrees Celsius. If you don't have a kitchen thermometer, use the handle of a wooden spoon. Dip it in the oil, and when bubbles start to form around it, the oil is ready.

  5. Remove the fried croquettes from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Serve while still warm.
