Yummy Mountain Fried Possum

Yummy Mountain Fried Possum

1 young Possum
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup flour
3 tbsp. fat

After skinning, soak Possum in salt water overnight, then drain and cut into pieces. (Be sure to remove Possum's innards) Parboil meat pieces for 20 minutes. Drain and wipe with a damp cloth. Make a batter of egg yolk, milk, salt, and flour. Dip meat pieces into batter and brown in hot fat. Reduce heat, cover and cook slowly for 1 1/2 hours, turning a few times. Serves 2 to 4.

Enjoy!

YUM! Can't wait to try this recipe. Seriously, did grandson and husband take them to the swamp and let them out yet?

Thanks for visiting my blog - and now I visited yours - and will definitely come back again. I've never eaten fried possum (nor do I plan to!) but I have eaten groundhog. Don't plan to again, though.
I like your having a Bible verse on your banner.
