Ingredients:
1/2 stick(s) butter |
1 cup(s) corn meal |
2 eggs |
1 cup(s) flour |
fresh cracked blk pepper |
2-4 pound(s) fresh crappie filets |
1/2 cup(s) heavy whipping cream |
1/4 cup(s) hot sauce (texas pete or similar) |
1 cup(s) milk |
peanut or veg oil |
Directions:
1. Combine the eggs, heavy cream, milk, and hot sauce in a large bowl. Melt the half-stick of butter and pour that in as well. After a good mixing, the marinade should have a nice pink color thanks to the hot sauce. Submerge the crappie fillets in the mixture and allow them to soak in the refrigerator for two to four hours.
2. Dump the flour and corn meal into a small, clean kitchen trash bag. Shake it up to thoroughly mix the dry ingredients and set the sack aside.
3. After marinating, liberally coat the crappie fillets with cracked black pepper and move them into the bag of batter. Shake the bag to give the fillets an even coating of the flour/corn meal mixture and head to the fryer.
4. Peanut or vegetable oil both work for this recipe, but it is essential that the oil be pre-heated to 425 degrees. Oil thats not hot enough will make the fish soggy and greasy. If you dont have an oil thermometer, break the head off a stick match and drop the wood shaft in the pan. If it flames up and disintegrates, the oil is hot enough. Carefully slide in your crappie fillets and fry to a golden brown.
