Happy Accident Cornmeal Coating (For Fried Fish Or Veggies)

• 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup warm water
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 egg
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• salt and pepper
• fish or vegetables, you want to fry
• shortening, for frying

1. Heat shortening in Dutch oven or deep fryer.
2. Beat together first four ingredients in a small bowl.
3. Mix the remaining ingredients in a pie pan.
4. Dip your fish or veggies in the wet mixture then dredge through dry mixture. (for thicker coating, do this step twice.).
5. Place coated pieces into hot grease and cook until done. I used a fry basket in a stew pot.
6. When thoroughly cooked, remove pieces to a wire rack to drain before serving.
