Yield 18 oysters, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, well beaten
1/4 cup milk (or more)
18 medium oysters, drained
1 cup white cornmeal
2 cups lard or 2 cups solid shortening

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.
  • Cook through, about 3 to 4 minutes total cooking time.
  • Drain on paper towels.
