    Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
    • 2 cups milk
    • 1/4 cup melted bacon fat or butter
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 3 cups peanut oil, for deep-frying
    • 36 freshly shucked oysters
    • Lemon wedges, as accompaniment

    Instructions

    In a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, eggs, milk, bacon fat, baking powder and salt. Stir until the batter is smooth. In a large saucepan or deep-fryer, heat the oil to 375F.
