When I was young, my mother made this recipe for us. Recently, I was going through her cookbook collection and found it. Now I make this tasty, fun appetizer for my own family and enjoy mixing the old memories with new ones. Ingredients:
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1/2 cup cornflake crumbs |
1/4 cup milk |
2 tablespoons finely chopped green pepper |
1 teaspoon salt |
3/4 pound ground pork |
3/4 pound ground veal |
12 popsicle sticks |
coating: |
1 egg |
1/4 cup milk |
2 cups cornflake crumbs |
oil for frying |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Crumble ground meat over mixture and mix well. Shape a 1/4 cupful of meat mixture around each Popsicle stick to resemble a 3-in. log.
2. In a shallow bowl, whisk egg and milk. Place cornflake crumbs in another shallow bowl. Coat each leg in crumbs, then dip in egg mixture and recoat in crumbs. Let stand for 5 minutes.
3. In an electric skillet, heat 1/4 in. oil to 375°. Fry legs, a few at a time, for 1 minute on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
4. Arrange on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until no pink remains and a thermometer reads 160°. Yield: 1 dozen.
