4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons finely chopped onion
4 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 cups cured ham (Jamon) very finely diced
4 cups milk
Salt (not very much because of the salt of the ham
Pepper freshly ground
1 beaten egg
breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil for frying

1
Melt the butter over medium heat in a heavy medium saucepan. Add the onion and cook until soft. Add the cured ham (jamon) and fry for 1 minute. Stir in the flour, and cook for about three minutes until smooth. Whisk in the milk and bring to a simmer, whisking all the while, until the mixture begins to thicken. Turn the heat to very low, and simmer, stirring often with a whisk and scraping the bottom and edges of the pan with a rubber spatula, for 12 minutes so the sauce loses its raw flour taste. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into a Pyrex, smooth the top, cover with cling film and allow to cool. Put in the fridge overnight.
2
With 2 spoons, make balls of the mixture and put them on a tray.
3
Roll the croquetas in egg and then breadcrumbs. Put in the fridge until ready to fry.
4
Fry and serve warm or cold.
5
The croquetas can be frozen before frying - to fry, no need to thaw because they are quite small.
