Fried Scallops

1. 1

   Combine flour, corn flour and baking powder in a medium-size aluminum baking pan and shake around to mix well.

2. 2

   Dry scallops with paper towels, then dip both sides in flour mixture and shake off any excess.

3. 3

   Put a 20-inch iron skillet over a propane gas burner and turn burner to high.

4. 4

   Add enough oil to come to a depth of just over 1/4 inch.

5. 5

   Heat until oil is hot but not smoking; you can test it by dropping a small piece of scallop into the oil; it should bubble furiously.

6. 6

   When oil is hot, add scallops in batches small enough so theyre not crowded, and cook just until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.

7. 7

   Drain on paper towels and eat right away.
