Amount Ingredient
225 gm Cheddar cheese grated
2 x eggs separated
2 tbl light ale
1/4 tsp salt
freshly ground black pepper
50 gm plain flour
1 tsp baking powder

Instructions:
Instructions: Beat together the cheese egg yolks and ale in a mixing bowl and add salt and pepper.

Sift the flour and baking powder and stir them into the cheese mixture.

Whisk the egg whites until stiff and fold them into the mixture.

Cover the bowl and leave to stand for 30 minutes.

To make the salad arrange the tomato slices in a dish and sprinkle them with the onions and basil.

Mix together the French dressing and soured cream and pour over the salad.

Dust your hands with flour and divide the cheese mixture into 24 balls slightly larger than a large walnut.

Push an olive gently in the centre of each one and shape the cheese mixture round it so that it is enclosed.

Heat the oil in a pan and when it is smoking fry the cheese balls a few at a time for 23 minutes until they are puffed and golden.

Drain them on kitchen paper and serve at once.
