Classic Deep Fried Stuffing Balls

Back in the day, my grandma used to whip up these golden, crispy bites that were the star of every holiday table. You’re gonna love how simple they are to make, yet they pack a punch of flavor that’ll have everyone asking for seconds.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of leftover stuffing (the drier, the better)
• A couple of eggs, beaten
• A splash of milk
• 1 cup of all-purpose flour
• 1 cup of breadcrumbs
• Oil for frying (enough to fill your pot about 2 inches deep)

Instructions

1. Grab your leftover stuffing and roll it into golf ball-sized balls. If they’re not holding together well, a little beaten egg can help bind them.
2. Set up your breading station: one bowl with flour, one with the beaten eggs mixed with a splash of milk, and one with breadcrumbs.
3. Dip each stuffing ball first in the flour, then the egg mixture, and finally the breadcrumbs, making sure they’re fully coated at each step.
4. Heat your oil in a deep pot to 375°F. A candy thermometer is your best friend here to keep the temp just right.
5. Fry the balls in batches, about 3-4 at a time, for 2-3 minutes or until they’re a deep golden brown. Don’t overcrowd the pot, or they won’t crisp up properly.
6. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Look at that! You’ve got yourself a batch of crunchy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside stuffing balls that are perfect for dipping in gravy or cranberry sauce. Try serving them on a skewer for a fun, bite-sized appetizer at your next gathering.
