- 3 -4 cups canola oil, enough to fill deep fryer (or vegetable, canola oil is best)
directions
- Heat oil in deep fryer or large pot on stove to 350° Fahrenheit
- Beat eggs and milk together in a bowl. Pour milk and egg wash in a ziplock bag.
- Combine remaining ingredients (except broccoli) in a separate ziplock bag; close the bag and shake thoroughly to mix. (Cajun or Creole seasonings: Zatarain's or Tony Chachere's, to taste or 1 teaspoon).
- Shake and soak broccoli pieces in egg wash bag for 5 minutes, then place them in flour and seasoning ziplock bag. Shake to coat. Place each coated broccoli piece in hot oil and cook until golden brown. Drain on paper towel.
- Best served hot out of the fryer. Serve with condiments of your choice, catsup, hot sauce, or cocktail sauce are my favorite choices.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I collect recipes and enjoy trying out new ones. I used to collect cookbooks but found that I can get just about any recipe that I want on the Internet (what a great tool). I like going out to eat, and I also like trying to make the same dishes at home even more! I enjoy most foods and like a variety of dishes, cultural and ethnic dishes, old family favorites, as well as, the new and revised dishes. My passion is eating good food.
