VENISON NUGGETS

INGREDIENTS:

Venison tenderloin cut into 1 inch cubes           1 cup plain flour
1 cup Prepared mustard                                     Salt (to taste)                                                   Black Pepper (to taste)                                       1 quart cooking oil if using a 2 quart sauce pot

Cut venison tenderloin into 1 inch cubes and dip into prepared mustard and coat with plain flour seasoned with salt and black pepper.  Deep fry in hot oil @ 350 degrees F. until golden brown.

NOTE: The venison tenderloin I am referring to is the muscle that is inside the deer next to the backbone near the kidneys, not the regular back or loin strap. You may substitute a good cut of beef if Bambi sensitive.  Also, this recipe will work for catfish such as the Blue Catfish or the Mississippi Flathead or a regular venison loin strap from a very young deer.

Serve as hot appetizers with toothpicks.  Will melt in your mouth even with store bought teeth!  You might need to use meat tenderizer on an older deer or tough cut of beef!
