In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, sprinkle the flour into the butter and stir with a wisk. Cook for 2 minutes. Wisk the warmed milk into the flour mixture; working out any lumps.

FREEZE the balls over night.

Beat the eggs with 2 tablespoons milk together to form an egg wash & pour into a shallow bowl.
