Fried Cheese Balls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 Tbsp. margarine
1/2 c. flour
1 c. milk
1 c. grated cheese
Worcestershire sauce (optional)
Tabasco sauce (optional)
cayenne pepper to taste
cracker crumbs (fine)
1 egg, beaten
hot oil for frying

Preparation

Make a thick cream sauce by melting the margarine and adding flour and milk.
Cook until thick and smooth.
(You need 1/2 cup sauce.)
Season to taste with salt and pepper, including cayenne. New York State cheese is best but you can use a milder cheese highly seasoned with Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco sauce, etc. Mix in grated cheese and chill mixture thoroughly.
Then shape into small balls.
Roll in fine cracker crumbs.
Dip into beaten egg, then in the crumbs again.
Fry in hot oil in a deep pan quickly until brown.
(Brown quickly or they will split open.) Keep warm in a 150\u00b0 oven or until enough are ready to serve.
