To check if the oil is hot or not, drop a little mixture and if it comes up easily (after a few seconds) and you see small sizzling bubbles then the oil is ready to fry the cheese balls. If the mixture does not come up easily, the oil is not hot & if the mixture comes up quickly, the oil is more hot. So adjust the temperature accordingly to fry the cheese balls evenly.

This is easy to make and my guests loved it. It'' perfectly crunchy with a good flavour of the cheese. I also added some corn and mixed Italian herbs into the dough. Perfect as a starter or for an evening snack.
