Ingredients
  • 2 pounds calf testicles*
  • 2 cups beer
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup yellow cornmea1
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil**
  • 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
  • * Be sure to ask your butcher for calf testicles, not bull testicles. Calf testicles are the size of a walnut and are much more tender than the larger bull testicles.

Directions
  1. With a very sharp knife, split the tough skin-like muscle that surrounds each testicle.
  2. Remove the skin (you can remove the skin easily if the testicles are frozen, then peel while thawing).
  3. Slice each testicle into approximately 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick ovals. Place slices in a large pan or bowl with enough beer to cover them; cover
  4. let sit 2 hours.
  5. In a shallow bowl, combine eggs, flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper. Remove testicles from beer; drain
  6. Dredge thoroughly in the flour mixture.
  7. In a large, deep pot, heat oil to 375 degrees F.
  8. Deep fry 3 minutes or until golden brown (will rise to the surface when done).
  9. Drain on paper towels.
  10. Serve warm with your favorite hot pepper sauce.

I was first introduced to Rocky Mountain Oysters when we lived in Denver - I have to admit, I had to work up the courage to eat one, but it only took one bite for me to realize those things were GOOD!! Nice post, Mark555...


OMG.. Krum.. if you admit.. I have to also! They are good! And Mark555.. you are brave for posting this! Love it! LOL


Confession time...I was first introduced as a child to this little delicacy. Adults have a funny sense of humor, don't they? I have had them several times since and I also think they are very tasty (for some reason that just felt very strange to type)...


OK Mark, I love these. Thanks for the recipe!

I would suggest a six-pack of beer. Drink two prior to handling the protein, one while cooking and one to wash these lovelies down! Nothing to do with the recipe, mind you, just a fan of an ice cold beer!
