Fried Strawberries

Don't Laugh!! You won't believe how easy and wonderful these are!! The only down side is that they have to be done at the last second so that they are still warm when they are served!

1 1/2-2 cups flour + a little extra

1 pint medium to large strawberries

1 cup milk

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg, beaten

Pour 2" of vegetable oil into a heavy skillet. Place over medium high-high heat.

Mix the flour, milk sugar and egg. Beat the batter until smooth and set aside for 10 minutes. Meanwhile clean the strawberries and dry them completely. (It helps if the strawberries are room temperature) Dredge the strawberries in the extra flour and shake off any excess. Dip them into the batter and set on a plate; repeat until all the strawberries have the batter on them. (You can place the dipped strawberries into the refrigerator at this point if you have to.)

Fry the strawberries until golden brown; drain. Decorate with Strawberry jam and whipped cream.
