Triple Dipped Fried Chicken

Ingredients
Original recipe makes 6 servings
·        
3 cups all-purpose flour
·        
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic salt
·        
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
·        
1 tablespoon paprika
·        
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
·          
·        
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
·        
1 teaspoon salt
·        
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
·        
2 egg yolks, beaten
·        
1 1/2 cups beer or water
·          
·        
1 quart vegetable oil for frying
·        
1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
Directions
1.   In one medium bowl, mix together 3 cups of flour, garlic salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper, paprika and poultry seasoning. In a separate bowl, stir together 1 1/3 cups flour, salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, egg yolks and beer. You may need to thin with additional beer if the batter is too thick.
2.   Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Moisten each piece of chicken with a little water, then dip in the dry mix. Shake off excess and dip in the wet mix, then dip in the dry mix once more.
3.   Carefully place the chicken pieces in the hot oil. Fry for 15 to 18 minutes, or until well browned. Smaller pieces will not take as long. Large pieces may take longer. Remove and drain on paper towels before serving.



Basic Crepe Recipe

Ingredients 
Original recipe makes 8 crepes
·        
1 cup all-purpose flour
·        
2 eggs
·        
1/2 cup milk
·        
1/2 cup water
·        
1/4 teaspoon salt
·        
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions
1.   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.
2.   Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
3.   Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot.
