Cheesecakes from Valais

Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Whisk together milk and eggs and stir into the flour to form a smooth batter. Cover and let stand for about 30 minutes. Cut the raclette cheese into 1 cm thick rectangles measuring approximately 6 x 3 cm. Heat the oil in a wide saucepan or wok. Put a little flour in a soup bowl, toss the cheese pieces in it, then place them in the batter in portions. Remove one at a time with two forks, add to the hot oil, and fry until golden brown. Remove with a wire rack and drain on kitchen paper. Serve immediately. Tip: I often do this when there are leftovers after a raclette evening. By the way: Cheese freezes well.
