Deep Fried Artichoke Hearts

• 2 (9 ounce) packages frozen artichoke hearts
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 3 egg yolks
• salt
• pepper
• Tabasco sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• oil, for deep-frying

1. Thaw the artichoke hearts.
2. Place flour in a bowl and add egg yolks, nutmeg and salt, pepper and tabasco to taste. Gradually beat in 1 cup milk. Stir in baking powder. Coat artichokes in batter. Adjust the consistancy with the extra milk if needed.
3. Drop the artichokes one at a time into oil (deep enough to cover artichokes), heated to 360 degrees. Cook, turning, until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
4. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce (I like ranch or flavored mayo)!
