--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3      c             Kefalotiri cheese -- grated
   1      ts            Baking powder
     1/2  ts            Salt
   5                    Egg whites
                        Oil or butter -- for frying

Mix together cheese, baking powder, and salt. Beat egg whites until
stiff but not dry. Slowly add cheese mixture to egg whites, beating
constantly. Mixture should be very thick (if necessary, add a little
flour until the mixture is the right consistency). Shape into
croquettes about 1-1/2" long. Fry in hot oil or butter to a light
golden color. Drain on absorbent paper and serve hot.
