2-3 lbs 1 inch cubes beaver
6 eggs
2 cups flour
Salt, pepper, ginger, sage, poultry seasoning, etc.
Oil for frying
Milk
Mix eggs, flour and any combination of the spices above for a variety or about 1
tsp. salt and 1 tsp. pepper. Alternate beating and adding about 1 tbsp. of
milk until the mix has thinned enough to jiggle when shaken. Continue to beat
with a fork until the ingredients are thoroughly blended. Stir in the beaver cubes
until all cubes are well coated.
Drop individual coated cubes in hot oil (at least 2 inches deep). Cubes will sink and
then float as they start frying. Stir and turn until golden brown making sure no
chunks remain stuck to the bottom of your fry pan.
Eat plain or dip in sweet and sour sauce, BBQ sauce, honey, honey-mustard sauce
or your favorite steak sauce. Try different types of salad dressings.
