I cannot imagine this possibly being anything other than terrible.

Deep Fried Butter
Serves: 6

The State Fair of Texas, the same people who brought you Fried Cookie Dough, Deep-Fried Twinkies, Deep Fried Oreos, Fried Coke and Chicken Fried Bacon, now bring you Deep Fried Butter.


Ingredients:

• ½ cup butter
• 3 Tablespoons cream cheese
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup flour
• 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 cup chilled club soda (plus up to ¼ cup additional if batter is too thick)
• 3½ cups peanut oil

Method Butter center:

1. Cream butter, cream cheese and black together with an electric mixer until smooth.
2. Using a melon baller, form 1-inch balls of butter mixture and arrange them on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
3. Freeze until solid, at least two hours

Method Batter:

1. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients.
2. Fold chilled club soda into dry mixture.

Note: Do not over mix; batter will be slightly lumpy and thick.

3. Heat 3½ cups peanut oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, to 350 F.
4. Working with frozen butterballs, skewer frozen balls one at a time and dip in batter.
5. Place battered butterball in hot oil and remove skewer, using a second skewer to dislodge.
6. Fry for 30 to 45 seconds and turn with slotted spoon. Allow battered butter to fry for an additional 30 to 45 seconds or until lightly browned.
7. Remove fried butterballs from oil with slotted spoon and cool on a rack for at least 1 minute.

Note: To make the wait bearable sing the “Eyes of Texas”.

8. Skewer and eat, Texas State-Fair style.
9. Careful, contents of fried butter will remain hot

What do you think you are eating when you eat anykind of liver, pork belly or streaky bacon? Fat perhaps cooked in fat

[Oyster]

"When you taste it, it really does taste like a hot roll with butter."

It looks good...

When we would be serving breakfast buffet at club for 350, guess how kitchen cooked the bacon?

In a skillet? Nawwww
Bake it? Nawww
In an enormous deep fryer? Yep! Works great at home too, in a Fry Daddy or regualr deep fryer. Very quick.
Our gang in the hood frys 5 lbs or so in the turkey pot on Thanksgiving Day to start things off before frying about 10 turkeys. Goes great with 5 bottles of Chamapgne for Mimosas too!

Oyster, what a great way to start the day, that sounds wonderful! Do you leave the bacon fat in the pot and add more oil to cook the turkey? That would sure give it great flavor.

Start the day...heck, I pretty much end the day right there by noon! Course, I don't have to go anywhere else, and I usually cook Prime Rib or Lobster (as 17 YO daughter dictates.) later in the day (and after my nap). After the bacon and biscuits, then comes the sacrifical Breakfast Turkey that is fried up to pick the bones by the people waiting for their turkey dinners to cook. It doesn't take long, about 35-45 minutes.

Add more oil? Nawwww...more than enough renders out of the bacon to make up for any absorbed in the atmosphere!

Tell you the truth, after people pass by this early a.m. TG party, they tend to blow off traditional family events that they have been attending for the last quarter century to hang with our crew! Peeps are booking turkey's in the pots as we speak.

Of course, by noon, not too many in shape to drive very far anyway.

Sounds like an awesome Thanksgiving party.
