2. In a pan, fry the breadcrumbs in butter until golden brown.

3. With wet hands, form small balls from the rested mixture.

4. Gently drop them into hot salted water (not boiling!)

5. When they float to the top, they’re ready. Flip them once, then remove carefully and roll in the golden breadcrumbs until fully coated.
