Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boudin sausage
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 4 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, crumble the boudin sausage, removing any casing if present.
Form the crumbled boudin into 1-inch balls by rolling between your palms. The mixture should hold together well.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.
Place the flour in a separate shallow dish, and the panko breadcrumbs mixed with Cajun seasoning in another.
Dredge each boudin ball in flour, coating evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured balls into the egg mixture, ensuring they are completely covered.
Roll the balls in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs well.
In a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil to submerge the boudin balls completely.
Fry the boudin balls in batches, about 3-4 at a time, to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the balls from the oil, and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as Creole mustard or remoulade.
