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
