Paula’s Fried Butter Balls 
Based on 2 reviews
Ingredients:
1 egg, beaten
1 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper
2 ounces cream cheese
2 sticks butter
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
Peanut oil, for frying
Directions
Cream the butter, cream cheese, salt and pepper together with an electric mixer until smooth. Using a very small ice cream scoop, or melon baller, form 1-inch balls of butter mixture and arrange them on a parchment or waxed paper lined sheet pan. Freeze until solid. Coat the frozen balls in flour, egg, and then bread crumbs and freeze again until solid.
When ready to fry, preheat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
Fry balls for 10 to 15 seconds until just light golden. Drain on paper towels before serving.

I think maybe there is a typo in this recipe! I followed the recipe & did exactly what was listed. After frying, these "butter balls" were disgusting! The butter metled out of some while they were frying & the others continued to melt as they sat on the paper towel. I don't think I'll be trying this recipe again! I love Paula's recipes but this one isn't for me!
