Dredging
- Sweat the shallots in a pan with the clarified butter (or any other fat source)
- Add Mother Plucker blend.
- Mix all ingredients including the shallots and fat in a bowl with a whisk until smooth.
- Pour into a long container like a cup, so you’re able to dip your squash in.
- When battering squash or hot dog, dip in batter then give a couple of shakes. Dip into batter again and shake.
- Once sufficiently battered, dry in a pot of canola oil set to 325°F.
- Season with salt once golden brown and sprinkle some more mother plucker on top.
