Ozark Mountain Oysters

Ingredients

Cocktail sauce

1 cup

Vegetable oil

enough for deep frying

Salt

1 teaspoon or to taste

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon or to taste

Cornmeal

1 cup

All-purpose flour

1 cup

Hot sauce

1 tablespoon

Buttermilk

2 cups

Bull testicles

2, cleaned and peeled

Instructions

1. Clean and peel the bull testicles. Slice them into 1/4 inch thick rounds.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the slices and ensure they are fully submerged. Let them marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
3. In another bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
4. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F.
5. Remove the marinated slices from the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off. Dredge each slice in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated. Shake off any excess.
6. Fry the slices in the hot oil until they turn a deep golden brown, which should take about 3 minutes. Be careful not to overcrowd the pot.
7. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried slices and drain them on paper towels.
8. Serve the Ozark Mountain Oysters hot, accompanied by the cocktail sauce for dipping.
