THE LOUISVILLE NATIVES ROLLED OYSTERS

Steps:

• Sift flour, baking powder and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
• Beat together egg and milk; add to flour mixture and mix well.
• Batter should be stiff, but if it is too stiff to coat the oysters, add additional milk.
• Beat until smooth.
• Put oysters in batter and stir to coat oysters well.
• Scoop up three oysters at a time and form them by hand into a croquette.
• Quickly roll croquette in cornmeal, covering it completely.
• Repeat with remaining oysters.
• After all croquettes have been formed, dip each again in batter and dust again with cornmeal.
• At this point, oysters can be refrigerated until time to fry them.
• Heat lard to 375°F in a deep fryer.
• Put 3 rolled oysters at a time in basket and lower into hot fat.
• The rolled oysters should cook on all sides; it may be necessary to turn them with a pancake turner.
