Deep Fried Dough Balls


Ingredients

• • 2 cups warm water
• • 2¼ teaspoon active dry yeast (1 packet)
• • 3½ cups flour
• • ½- 3/4 cup sugar
• • ½ Tbs salt
• • Oil for deep frying
  
  

Instructions

1. Mix salt, sugar, water, and yeast . Set aside for 5 minutes
2. Add flour and mix.
3. Let the mixture rise for approximately 1- 2 hours
4. In a large, sauce pan pour vegetable oil into a pot, until it is at least 3 inches (or about 5 centimeters) high (too little will result in flatter balls), and place on low heat.
5. Test to make sure the oil is hot enough by putting a ‘drop’ of batter into the oil. If it is not hot enough, the batter will stay at the bottom of the pot rather than rising to the top.
6. Using your hands grab a little bit of mixture at time and drop in the oil.
7. When the oil is hot enough, use a spoon to dish up the batter, and another spoon or spatula to drop it in the oil, sort of in the shape of a ball.
8. Fry for a few minutes until the bottom side is golden brown.
9. Turn the ball over and fry for a few more minutes until the other side is golden brown.
10. Use a large spoon or something like that to take it out of the oil. I usually place them on napkins right away to soak up some of the excess oil.
11. If desired, you can roll the finished product in table sugar or powdered sugar to make it sweeter

Rocky Mountain Oysters Recipe:

Recipe Type: Beef, Calf Testicles
Yields: makes many servings
Prep time: 2 hr


Ingredients:

2 pounds calf testicles*
2 cups beer
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup yellow cornmea1
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Vegetable oil**
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce

* Be sure to ask your butcher for calf testicles, not bull testicles. Calf testicles are the size of a walnut and are much more tender than the larger bull testicles.

** Use enough vegetable oil to fill your frying container halfway to the top (to allow for bubbling up and splattering) and to completely cover calf testicles while frying.


Preparation:

With a very sharp knife, split the tough skin-like muscle that surrounds each testicle. Remove the skin (you can remove the skin easily if the testicles are frozen, then peel while thawing). Either leave whole or slice each testicle into approximately 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick ovals. Place slices in a large pan or blow with enough beer to cover them; cover and let sit 2 hours.

In a shallow bowl, combine eggs, flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper.

Remove testicles from beer; drain and dredge thoroughly in the flour mixture. In a large, deep pot, heat oil to 375 degrees F. Deep fry 3 minutes or until golden brown (will rise to the surface when done). Drain on paper towels.

Serve warm with your favorite hot pepper sauce.
