Calf Fries Ingredients
Method
Calf Fries Preparation Directions
- 1
Preparing the Testicles
Start by cleaning the calf testicles under cold water. Remove any outer membrane and fat from the surface.
- 2
Soaking in Buttermilk
Place the cleaned testicles in a bowl and cover them with buttermilk. Let them soak for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator to tenderize and add flavor.
- 3
Preparing the Breading
In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. This will be your breading mixture.
- 4
Coating the Testicles
After soaking, remove the testicles from the buttermilk and allow any excess to drip off. Dredge them in the flour mixture until fully coated. Shake off excess flour.
- 5
Heating the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of the flour mixture into it; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.
- 6
Frying the Calf Fries
Carefully add the coated testicles to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.

Serving
Serve the calf fries hot with your choice of dipping sauce, such as ranch or hot sauce.
