1. Remove the rind from the Camembert cheese. Mash the cheese with fork in a small bowl and beat well until it is really smooth.

2. Make roux: melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes without browning and then stir in the milk and brandy or calvados, beating vigorously to make a smooth, thick sauce. Season with pepper and cool. Mix in the Camembert to make a firm croquette mixture.

3. Take small amounts of the cheese mixture and roll between floured hands to make cork shaped croquettes. Beat the egg with 2 tablespoons of cold water and use to coat the croquettes.

4. Roll the croquettes at once in a mixture of flour and breadcrumbs and then deep-fry them quickly in hot oil until golden brown. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper and serve garnished with sprigs of parsley.
