2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup flour
1 cube misc. bouillon
1 cup water
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
flour
1 egg white lightly beaten
bread crumbs
oil to fry

Dissolve bouillon in boiling water and set aside. Heat the frying pan and melt the butter. Add flour and brown lightly. Add bouillon mixture rapidly to the flour and butter mixture so that it will not become lumpy. Cook stirring constantly until thick and smooth. Remove from the heat.

Whip together egg and egg yolk and add to the thickened mixture. Add the Parmesan cheese and return to the low heat.

Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes loose from the bottom of the pan, forming a ball. Add the parsley, and let cool until the mixture can be handled. When cool, form the small croquettes into a ball. Roll in flour, beaten egg white and bread crumbs and fry in oil that is not too hot. Serve immediately.
