    Step 1.

    How to make semolina balls from semolina as in kindergarten? Prepare the products. Milk is suitable for any fat content, it does not matter. Take the egg of the first category, too large when added will make the porridge too liquid. The amount of sugar I specified is minimal, you can increase it for a sweeter version of the cue balls.

I didn't get a very thick porridge, it was hard for me to make meatballs out of it. I would increase the amount of semolina by another spoonful.

Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
