Ingredients
Preparation

200g/7oz cheddar cheese
100g/3oz spelt flour
1 egg
Olive oil
60g/2oz clear honey
1 tbsp poppy seeds

 

Grate the cheese and knead it with the flour

When the mixture feels like breadcrumbs, add the egg and work it into a dough.

Break off small pieces and roll each of these in your hands, making dough balls about 2 cm/1" in diameter.

Fill a frying pan to a depth of 2cm/1" with olive oil and heat. When the oil is hot, but before you can se fumes,lower the pastry balls into the oil preferably using a slatted spoon.

Cook for about 5 minutes until golden brown on the outside.

Drain the pastry balls and remove excess oil with kitchen roll.

Heat the honey in a frying pan until it is very thin.

Pour the poppy seeds onto a plate and roll the balls in the honey until completely coated.

Transfer to the plate and coat with poppy seeds.

Serve warm or cold
