- Heat butter in a pan. Remove from heat and stir in flour and salt to make a smooth mix. Gradually stir in lowfat milk. Over medium heat, bring to a boil. Stir till very thick. Remove from heat. Stir in egg yolk. Cook 2 min longer. Add in ham and cheese (Minced up left over ham from Thanksgiving or possibly Xmas is best!). Mix well. Spread proportionately in a baking dish. Refrigerate1 1/2 hrs. Divide mix into 8 portions (better if made into smaller portions than 8). Shape croquettes. Roll in corn flake crumbs. Place in refrigerator 1 hour.
- In a small bowl, beat egg white and 1 c. water till well combined. Dip each croquette in egg mix and roll in the crumbs again. Chill 30 min more. Fry in oil.
- Mama always placed in the refrigerator the first time over night. She said it was better to do so. The reason I can not remember, but have found it to be true. Perhaps it makes them firmer and easier to work with.
- Disclaimer: I don't know where my mama got this receipe, but we have always called it Mama's receipe although I am sure she did not originally make it up.
