Thread: mushy

Try 365 degrees for the oil temp and don't crowd the pan so the temp drops. Then cook ten minutes to the inch, measured at thickest part. Good starting recipe for the breading is four cups cornmeal, three tablespoons plus one teaspoon salt, two teaspoons black pepper, and 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper. This is what I've used for years at my restaurant and at home except at home I use almost four tbs. salt instead of 3+. This is also most likely why I need blood pressure medication.
