Step-by-Step Instructions
- Boil salted water, add macaroni, and cook until tender, about 7-8 minutes. Drain and let sit.
- In a large pan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until lightly golden, about 2-3 minutes, then slowly add milk while whisking until thick and bubbly.
- Lower heat and stir in cheese gradually until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper, then mix in the drained macaroni.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until cool and firm.
- Shape cooled mixture into 1-inch balls and freeze for at least 1 hour.
- Beat eggs with a splash of milk for the egg wash.
- Dip each ball into egg wash, then roll in breadcrumbs to coat.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer to 320°F (160°C).
- Fry balls in batches for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve warm with dipping sauces.

Notes
Ensure the mixture is well-chilled before forming to retain shape when frying. Fry in small batches for even cooking.
