My Mom's Frog Legs
8 to 10 or even 12 Frog Legs 1 cellophane pkg. of Club
Crackers, crushed 2 Eggs
2/3 cup Cream or Half and Half Salt and Pepper (to taste)
Peanut Oil
Put cracker crumbs on shallow tray. Beat together eggs and
cream, let sit in bowl. Wash frog legs well. Dry on paper
towels. Coat frog legs with egg mixture and roll in crumbs,
repeat this once again. Put on a rack over a pan. Set in
fridge for 30 minutes. Heat two inches of peanut oil in a
heavy skillet. When oil is good and hot, but not smoking,
slide frog legs into pan of oil. They should all fit at
once. With a pair of tongs, keep turning fro legs over until
they are golden brown and juices run clear when largest frog
leg is pierced. Drain on paper towels. When I was a kid
several couples would go frogging or gigging for frogs. So
when they got done a had quite a few frog legs. They would
bring all the things for a picnic and fry the frog legs
right on the spot. It made a nice outing for adults and
kids. Patty
