Instructions

  1. Mix the flour and eggs, then gradually whisk in the milk until you have a smooth, thick batter.
  2. Stir in the grated Gruyère, season with salt and nutmeg, and let rest 15 minutes in the fridge.
  3. Shape the batter into small balls or sticks using two tablespoons.
  4. Dip them in the beaten egg, then roll them in breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
  5. Heat the frying oil to 170 °C and fry the malakoffs in small batches for 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown.
  6. Drain on paper towels and serve right away, piping hot.
