Recipe Introduction
This is something only we Southerners would do with - or to - watermelon.
List of Ingredients
Deep Fried Watermelon
1 watermelon, about 10 pounds
11 tablespoons flour
7 tablespoons cornstarch
2 egg whites, beaten
3 cups vegetable oil for deep-frying use
Powdered sugar Recipe
Cut the watermelon in half and scoop out the pulp.
Remove any seeds from the pulp and cut the pulp into diamonds.
Coat with flour.
Mix the egg whites with cornstarch and a little water into a batter.
Heat the oil in a wok or skillet over high heat to about 250 F, or until small bubbles appear around a 1-inch cube of day-old bread dropped into the oil.
Dip the watermelon pieces in the batter and add to the oil.
Deep-fry until the coating becomes firm.
Turn off the heat, and continue to deep-fry the watermelon until light brown.
Remove, drain well, sprinkle with the sugar, and serve.
