Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb calves liver
2 eggs beaten with a little water
1 sleeve crushed saltine crackers
1 c bacon drippings
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse the calves liver under cold running water. Cut out any tough areas (Usually where the veins run through the liver.)
  • 2. With a very sharp knife slice the liver into thin strips then cut into thinner strips that resemble french fry cuts.
  • 3. Put the crushed saltine in a quart size zip top baggie.
  • 4. Put a good amount of bacon drippings in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. [You don't want the dripping so hot they smoke.]
  • 5. Drag a few of the bacon strip through the egg wash and shake of excess. Then drop into the baggie and coat with saltine crumbs.
  • 6. Gently lay the liver strips into the hot bacon drippings with enough room that you can turn them easily. Brown on all sides and remove to a plate covered in several layers of paper towel. Continue until all liver is cooked. [Note: The liver cooks very quickly so don't over cook it.] Eat.
