Ingredients
- 3 lbs Boudin sausage casings removed and filling crumbled
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp Cajun Seasoning my version or Tony Chachere's
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 cups vegetable oil for deep-frying
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, season the flour with Cajun Seasoning Blend. In another shallow bowl, place the breadcrumbs. In a third shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together.
- With 2 tablespoon scooper or wet hands, shape the boudin into balls the size of unshelled walnuts. Roll the balls in the flour, and then toss them in the beaten egg wash, letting the excess drip off. Dredge the balls in the breadcrumbs, turning to coat them evenly. Pressing gently to adhere.
- Transfer the boudin balls to a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat 2-inches of the vegetable oil in a deep fryer to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with wire rack and paper towels. Working in batches and turning often, fry until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on rack lined baking sheet. Let cool briefly before serving as is or with Remoulade sauce.
