French Fried Skunk

Serve:

1 recipe


2 skunks, skinned and cleaned
1 tb salt
1 water to cover
2 c bear fat or lard
2 egg yolks, beaten
3 c milk or cream
1 1/2 c flour
1/2 ts salt
2 tb baking powder

Clean and wash the skunks, making sure that the scent glands are removed.
Cut up into small serving pieces. Put a soup kettle on the stove and add
the meat. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower
the heat and boil until the meat is tender, about 40 minues. Remove all the
scum that rises to the surface. Make a batter by mixing together the egg
yolks, milk, flour, salt and baking ppowder. Mix real good until the batter
is about like cake batter. Heat the bear fat or lard in a deep fryer to
about 360 degrees. Dip the pieces of skunk in the batter and then fry them
in the deep fryer until golden brown. Drain well and serve.
Yum, yum.
