Is it
true that Southerners will deep fry just about anything?
Dip
chilled jelly beans in beaten egg then roll in crushed cornflakes
until well coated. Dip again and coat again. Then return to fridge
for 30 minutes to set up.
Deep fry in peanut oil or good lard until the coating is nicely
browned.
Serve with a sprinkle of powered sugar and the customary warning
that the contents are very HOT!
The
idea is to get eat them while still warm enough to be soft and
gooey, sort of the consistency of a nice fresh gummy bear with a
crunchy coating, but not hot enough to inflict 3rd-degree tongue
burns.
PS: The secret to deep frying jelly beans is to use a basket or you
will lose them in the deep fryer.... adds Cowboy Mark.
And there
you have it folks, proof that Southerners will indeed fry anything.
We've not
yet finished testing this in our SoHum Test Kitchen since we've been
busy pickling pig's feet this week. But if you try it anyhow, be
sure to write and let us know how good it is!
Foolish
as it may be, all this stuff is copyrighted... just so you know.
