FRIED BUTTER BALLS

Great Fried Balls of Butter
That’s right I made these for my dad while on vacation in Florida, my dad used to eat slabs of butter as a snack, not so much nowadays so I thought I would surprise him with these gorgeous over the top wonderful warm bursting balls of creamy garlic butter that for butter lovers is unbelievably heavenly.

These are just so naughty and delicious and definitely a once in a long while treat, but so worth the abstinence!  Creamy salted butter loaded with fresh garlic (my dad eats raw garlic cloves like candy!) for a milder garlic flavour roast the bulb and use the sweet garlic purée.  You can also add in cream cheese to the butter for a less intense butter and more creamy flavour.

Prep time 10 minutes / Cooking time 3-4 minutes per batch


Ingredients
(makes approx 16-20)

4 sticks of butter
1 bulb of garlic finely chopped
1 egg beaten
1 cup AP flour
1 cup panko breadcrumbs or cornmeal

Combine the butter and garlic together, at this point you can add cream cheese or herbs if you wish, form into balls just over half the size of a golf ball, place on a tray and freeze for one hour.

Set up you dredging station, 3 dishes, one filled with beaten egg, one with flour and one with the panko breadcrumbs.

Heat you oil to 180 C / 350 F and always on the back burner and never leave unattended.

Working fast take the frozen butter balls and roll in the flour, then the egg and finally the panko breadcrumbs, place on a plate while you coat the rest.  Gently fry the balls until golden brown, drain on paper towel, leave to rest for 3-5 minutes as WARNING HOT BUTTER BURNS and enjoy these brilliant balls of butter.
