Fried Butter Balls

One of my favorite categories are appetizers. I sometimes prefer to do heavy appetizers (a lot)  to a sit down meal. People go crazy over this one and always request the recipe. It so simple to make.

Ingredients:

2 sticks of butter
2 ounces of cheese
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup all purpose flour
1 egg beaten
1 cup cup seasoned breadcrumbs
peanut oil for frying

Directions:

1. Cream together the butter and cream cheese, and salt & pepper with mixer until smooth.
2. Using a 1 inch scoop, make balls of the butter mixture and arrange on waxed paper lined cookie sheet. Freeze until solid.
3. When butter balls solid, coat in flour, then egg, then bread crumbs, and then freeze again.
4.When ready to fry, heat oil in deep fryer to 350 degrees.
5. Fry balls for 10-15 seconds or till just golden brown. Drain on paper towels before serving.
