Bob’s Fried Clams Recipe

By JAmero4702

Ingredients

• 1 pint freshly opened soft shell clams
• 3 c. evaporated milk
• 1 c. regular milk
• 1/2 lb. yellow cornmeal flour
• 2 fresh eggs
• 1 qt. frying oil

Preparation

Step 1

Mix eggs and milk to make batter. Dump flour into a mixing bowl. Using a deep fat thermometer, heat fat to 360 degrees. Using a small wire mesh basket, dip about 12 clams into the batter. Make sure all clams are battered. Shake off excess batter and place clams into flour to bread and shake well. Then transfer the clams into 360 degree oil using some kind of fry basket. Fry approximately two minutes. Do not try to cook too many clams at one time. I recommend not more than 12 clams to each quart of oil. Serves 6-8
