Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 12 ounces salt pork (sliced)
  • 1 ½ cups milk or buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • peanut oil (for frying (1/4-inch deep))

Instruction

  • Place the sliced salt pork in a container and cover with milk or buttermilk. Let sit for several hours to draw out some of the salt. Remove the salt pork from the milk. Discard the milk.
  • Pepper each slice of salt pork and then dredge lightly in flour.
  • Add peanut oil to a depth of a ¼ inch to a heavy skillet. Heat the oil over medium high heat. Carefully add the prepared salt pork slices to the hot oil. Cook, turning once, until lightly browned and cooked through (about 7-8 minutes).
  • Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil.
