Ingredients
- 2pints shucked steamer clams
- Salt to taste
- 1teaspoon freshly grated black pepper
- ½cup buttermilk
- 2cups flour
- 2cups corn, peanut or vegetable oil
Preparation
- Step 1
Put the clams in a mixing bowl and add salt, pepper and buttermilk.
- Step 2
Put the flour in a large flat dish and add the clams. Toss the clams to coat well. Shake off excess flour.
- Step 3
Heat the oil in a deep skillet or wok. When it is quite hot (365 degrees on a deep-fat thermometer) add about one quarter of the clams and cook, stirring so that they brown evenly, about 1½ to 2 minutes. As the clams brown and become crisp, scoop them out with a perforated kitchen spoon onto absorbent paper towels. Add another batch of clams. Continue cooking until all the clams are crisp and browned.
