Ingredients

Deep-Fried Watermelon

1 watermelon, about 10 pounds

11 tablespoons flour

7 tablespoons cornstarch

2 egg whites, beaten

3 cups vegetable oil for deep-frying use

Powdered sugar

Directions

Cut the watermelon in half and scoop out the pulp. Remove any seeds from the pulp and cut the pulp into diamonds. Coat with flour.

Mix the egg whites with cornstarch and a little water into a batter.

Heat the oil in a wok or skillet over high heat to about 250 F, or until small bubbles appear around a 1-inch cube of day-old bread dropped into the oil.

Dip the watermelon pieces in the batter and add to the oil. Deep-fry until the coating becomes firm. Turn off the heat, and continue to deep-fry the watermelon until light brown. Remove, drain well, sprinkle with the sugar, and serve. Makes 12 servings.

Deep Fried Watermelon!!! It's a good thing I saw in the directions that you scoop out the watermelon. I had a visual of a new use for a turkey fryer. I'll have to try this out on my grandkids.

Whoah. Who woulda thunk? :) I would have thought it had way too much water in it to deep fry, but you never know. Some weekend will have to give it a try.

Sounds like this should be on a menu in a scottish chippy(fish & chip shop)along with battered deep fried mars bars & eggs. My folks used to take me to a place when I was a kid which served battered banana & pineapple, deep fried. This does sound rather nice:-))
