How to Make Batter Fried Frog S Legs

1. In a small bowl, dissolve 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast in 1/2 cup of lukewarm water. Let stand for 3-4 minutes until foamy.
2. Add 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to the yeast mixture. Beat until thoroughly blended and smooth.
3. Let the batter rest at room temperature for about 1 1/2 hours to develop flavor and texture.
4. Wash 1 pound of frog legs thoroughly under cold running water. Use a sharp knife to carefully peel the skin from the legs.
5. Place the skinned frog legs in a medium saucepan. Pour enough boiling water over the legs to cover completely. Immediately drain and pat the legs dry with paper towels.
6. In a large, heavy skillet (cast iron is ideal), heat 1/2 cup of vegetable shortening or oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking (approximately 350°F/175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accuracy.
7. Dip each frog leg into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Carefully place the battered legs into the hot oil. Fry for 4-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Remove the fried frog legs from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately and enjoy this unique culinary experience!
