Cornflake Crappie
Sent in by Terry Boyne

My mom came up with this recipe out of necessity one night while my family and I were out camping. My dad, brothers and I came in with a big batch of crappie and Mom realized she had no cornmeal to use for the batter. She did have a box of cornflakes though and so she improvised the following recipe which proved to be so tasty we have since preferred it to most others.

Ingredients:

    Crappie or any other panfish fillets.

    Equal parts of flour and finely crushed cornflakes enough to accommodate the amount of fish you have.

    2 cups milk

    1 egg

    Salt and Pepper to taste

Method:

In a cake pan, whisk egg into milk and add fillets to soak.

Mix flour, crushed cornflakes, salt and pepper in a large baggie.

Remove soaked fillets from the milk bath a few at a time, place in baggie and shake till coated.

Fry fillets until golden brown in a medium to medium high heat skillet with enough oil to cover them.

Remove to drain on paper towels.

Stand back so you don't get run over by the crowd!

Enjoy, ~ TerryB
