- 5 squirrels
- salt water
- eggs, flour and milk
- hot cooking oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- Cut
- up
- 5
- squirrels
- (or
- less
- if you can't get that many), just
- like
- you
- would
- athicken
- for frying.
- Young squirrels preferred
- but
- antld one will do.
- It just takes longer to cook.
- Soak dressed squirrel in salt water for about 30
- minutes. Make
- a
- batter
- with eggs, flour and milk.
- Dip squirrel
- in batter
- and
- fry in hot cooking oil until brown. Make a roux with flour and oil drippings from fry pan that you fried squirrel
- in. Cook
- roux just enough for it to be brown and thick.
- Add water to roux and make a thin gravy.
- Salt and pepper

- taste.
- Place squirrel in a large cooking pan such as a
- bread
- pan
- andtour gravy over the squirrel.
- Place in oven and
- turn
- heat
- up
- until the gravy starts to boil, then turn
- down

- andtet simmer until the squirrel is tender.

- If you are in the deer camp and
- you
- do
- not have an oven, you can cook in a covered pan and
- get
- the

- have an oven, make biscuits
