- ¼ cup butter, (½ stick / ¼ block)
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 6 hard boiled eggs, peeled, chopped, Shortcut
- ½ cup dried beef, chopped
- 1 tablespoon onion, finely diced
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon milk
- ½ cup dry bread crumbs
- cooking oil, for frying
Melt the butter in a saucepan, whisk in the flour and salt. Add the 1 cup of milk all at once and whisk until thickened. Remove from heat.
Stir in the dried beef, eggs, and onion. Place mixture in the fridge for 1½ hours.
In shallow bowl, mix together the beaten egg and 1 tablespoon of milk. Places bread crumbs in another shallow bowl.
Heat some oil in a large non stick pan.
Shape chilled mixture into 3 inch patties, coat with egg mixture then with crumbs.
Fry patties until browned, then flip and fry other side, remove.
Serve with sides of your choice, enjoy.
High cost per serving based on the dried beef, which I have not seen, maybe it is available in high end western markets (for probably high end prices).
