Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces fresh oysters, shucked
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 4 wedges lemon wedges
Instructions
Rinse the shucked oysters under cold water and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Pat dry with additional paper towels.
In a medium bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
In another bowl, beat the eggs with milk and lemon juice until well combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Dip each oyster into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat with the flour mixture. Press gently to adhere the coating.
Carefully place the coated oysters in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove oysters from oil using a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy with your choice of dipping sauce.
