Ham Croquettes With Mustard Sauce

• 2 cups finely chopped fully cooked ham
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup butter, cubed
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons water
• 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
• Oil for deep-fat frying
• 1-1/2 teaspoons butter
• 1-1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Dash pepper
• 1/2 cup milk
• 4-1/2 teaspoons yellow mustard

1. In a small bowl, combine the ham, onion and parsley; set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until smooth; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Stir into ham mixture.
3. Spread into an 8-in. square baking dish; cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
4. In a shallow bowl, combine egg and water. Place bread crumbs in a separate shallow bowl. Shape ham mixture into 12 balls (mixture will be soft); roll each ball into egg mixture, then bread crumbs. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours longer.
5. In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375u0b0. Fry croquettes, a few at a time, for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels.
6. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until smooth; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in mustard. Serve with croquettes.
