Ingredients:
1 medium eggplant
salt
1 cup Bisquick
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 eggs
1/8 cup milk
vegetable oil for frying
Peel the eggplant and cut into finger-sized pieces, 1/2 x 3. Place eggplant pieces in a colander and salt thoroughly.
Let stand for one hour. Thoroughly rinse the eggplant and dry on paper towels. In a medium bowl, beat eggs with milk
until combined. Mix the Bisquick, salt and pepper together on a sheet of foil. Dip the eggplant into the egg mixture,
shake to drain excess and thoroughly coat with breading mix. Place the eggplant pieces on a platter and refrigerate for
30 minutes (to allow the breading to set). Heat 1 inch of oil in a medium pan over high heat. When the oil is hot, place
the eggplant pieces in the oil, a few at a time and fry until golden brown (2-3 minutes). Drain on paper towels and serve
warm.
