    List of Ingredients




    Deep Fried Clams or Scallops

    1 pint shucked clams or 1 lb. fresh or frozen scallops
    1 cup all purpose flour
    1/2 tsp. sugar
    1 beaten egg
    2 TB cooking oil

    Cocktail sauce for dipping
    Shortening or cooking oil for deep fat frying (I use peanut oil)

    Thaw scallops, if frozen. If scallops are large, cut in half. Rinse clams or
    scallops; drain and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.

    For batter, in a medium mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, and 1/4
    teaspoon salt. In a small mixing bowl combine egg, 2 tablespoons
    cooking oil, and 3/4 cup cold water.
    Add to flour mixture; beat smooth.

    In a deep fat fryer or a 2 quart sauce pan heat 2 inches shortening or oil
    to 375º F. Dip clams or scallops into batter. Fry a few at a time, until
    golden brown, turning once. Allow 1 to 1-1/2 minutes for clams and 2 to
    2-1/2 minutes for scallops. Remove from fat and drain on paper towels.

    Keep fried clams or scallops warm in a 300º F., oven while frying remaining
    seafood.

    Serve with sauce, if desired.

    Makes 4 servings.
