Fried Oysters
Ingredients
- 1 pint standard oysters, drained
- 3/4 cup self-rising flour or pancake mix
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- vegetable oil, enough to fill frying pan 1 - 1 1/2 inch deep
Instructions
Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir milk into mixture to make a batter. Add oysters without liquor to the batter and coat thoroughly. Remove individual oysters with a fork and drop into hot oil in frying pan. (The oil is ready when a drop of water spatters upon contact with it.) Oysters will puff a few seconds after hitting the hot oil. Fry the puffs on both sides until golden. Yield: 30 to 40.
