Description
Sweetbread are a gland in cattle, and this is the way my husband and I prepare them. We like them in tiny pieces, but others make them in larger portions. This method of cooking and the taste remind me a little of chicken hearts, only better. One pound of sweetbreads makes plenty for 2 people using our method.
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sweetbreads
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup oil for frying
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Tear the sweetbread apart into 1 inch sections. Discard the stringy ligaments that hold it together. Rinse with water as you go. Dip the slightly wet sweetbreads into flour.
- Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet. Fry the sweetbreads in the hot oil until golden brown
- turning once. Remove from oil
- and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
