Ingredients

Instructions

1. Melt the butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and stir to combine.
2. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly. When the mixture starts to thicken, add the salt, pepper and chopped ham, and cook for a few more minutes.
3. Transfer the mixture to a glass container, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
4. When the mixture is cool and firm, divide it into 20-22 portions and shape each into small cylinders or balls.
5. Coat each croquette in breadcrumbs, dip it in beaten egg, then coat it in breadcrumbs again.
6. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a deep fryer or large pan. Fry the croquettes in batches for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
