Seafood and Battering

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Battering Mixture

    In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk.

  2. 2

    Coat the Sand Dabs

    Dip each piece of sand dab first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and back into the flour mixture to ensure an even coat.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  4. 4

    Pan Sear the Seafood

    Carefully place the battered sand dabs into the hot oil. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the sand dabs from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve immediately.
