Description
I experimented with some ways to cook scallops one night with my family. This was everyone’s favorite and it has become a regular dish at our family fry nights. If serving as a main dish, make twice as many servings as people (about 8 scallops per person).
Ingredients
- vegetable oil for frying
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tablespoon salt
- ½ tablespoon ground black pepper
- 12 large fresh scallops
Instructions
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Pour buttermilk into a bowl. Combine flour
- salt
- and pepper in a separate bowl.
- Immerse 4 or 5 scallops in the bowl of buttermilk. Transfer to the flour mixture; roll around until thickly coated.
- Lower scallops gently into the hot oil. Cook until golden and crispy
- 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining scallops.
