SOUTHERN FRIED RATTLESNAKE



Southern Fried Rattlesnake image

A recipe from the "Great American Writer's Cookbook" suggests slicing the snake, soaking it in vinegar with a hint of tobacco, then coating the meat in flour, salt, and pepper, and frying it in oil. Here we have a similar recipe, except that it calls for soaking the snake in buttermilk to tenderize the meat.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 rattlesnake, skinned and cleaned
pinch of salt
pinch of cayenne pepper
pinch of black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoon cornstarch
3/4 cup buttermilk
vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Cut the rattlesnake into 4-inch pieces. Combine the salt, peppers, garlic powder, onion powder, flour, and cornstarch in a medium bowl and set aside. Soak the rattlesnake in the buttermilk for 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Heat 2 inches of oil in a medium pan until it reaches 375 degrees F. Then dredge the rattlesnake pieces in the flour. Cook the rattlesnake in the oil in batches to not overcrowd the pan. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until the pieces are golden brown. Serve.

SNAKE MEAT



Snake Meat image

Try not to panic. No snakes were harmed in the making of this recipe. This is really just a fresh vegetable starter that is served with tortilla chips or buttered toast points. I have no idea why this would be called snake meat, and I would rather not speculate. But it is refreshing and healthy. Good for summertime.
