Batter Dipped French Fries

Batter Dipped French Fries

1 bag frozen plain French Fries
Plain flour

Batter
1 cup boxed pancake mix
2 cups club soda

Seasoning
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. dry mustard
2 Tbs.  seasoned salt

Prepare batter.  Combine seasoning mixture and store in a tightly covered
container. Allow 1 tsp. seasoning (we use much more) for each cup of prepared
batter. Without thawing, open bag of fries and dust them lightly but evenly in
flour, letting them dry on waxed paper lined cookie sheet for a few minutes.
Coat the floured fries evenly in the batter and fry in small portions @ a time
in 385 degree oil @ least 2" deep in pan. Turn fries once to brown evenly.
Remove with tongs to drain on paper towel lined plate. Serve at once. The batter
can be repeated as needed to coat the frozen fries.

Fajita Fries- Add 1/2 tsp. ground cumin in each cup of prepared batter that
includes the seasoning mix given above.
