B Smiths Cornmeal Dipped Pan Fried Whiting Recipes

PAN FRIED WHITING FISH

Steps:

• In shallow dish mix panko bread crumbs and seasonings together. In other shallow dish whisk eggs and Crystal hot sauce. Dip fish in eggs turning fish over and over 3 times. Then dip fish in panko bread crumbs turning twice and patting the bread crumbs into each fillet. Sit on a plate. Once all fish are breaded cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
• Heat oil/butter over high heat until bubbling (approx 1 1/2 - 2 minutes). Add half the fillets and turn to medium high heat. Cook fish 3 1/2 - 4 minutes per side making sure it turns a nice golden brown color.
• Remove from pan and place on paper towel covered plate to drain. Serve with condiment of your choice. We prefer my Sweet Dilly Tartar Sauce recipe # 516674.

PAN-FRIED FENNEL

Steps:

• Trim the fennel bulb and cut into slices about 1/4 inch/1/2 centimeter thick. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a heavy saute pan and fry the fennel on both sides until tender and slightly golden.

GRANDMA PEGGY'S CORNMEAL ROLLS

Steps:

• Cook milk, cornmeal, butter or margarine, sugar, and salt in medium saucepan until slightly thickened. Add 1/2 cup water and mix well. Set aside to cool. Soften active dry yeast in warm water (110 degrees F). Combine cornmeal mixture, yeast, and 2 well-beaten eggs. Add enough flour to make a soft dough. Place in greased bowl, turning once to grease surface and cover. When dough has doubled in size, cut and shape dough into dinner rolls. Let rise in warm place, about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake rolls for 12 to 15 minutes.
