Beer Batter Fried Bay Scallops

Directions

1. 1
   Rinse the scallops and drain to a towel.
2. 2
   In a large bowl, mix 1/2 cup of the flour, the corn meal, hot sauce, salt and pepper with enough beer to make a batter a little thinner than a pancake batter.
3. 3
   Put the remaining flour in a plastic bag, add the scallops, close the bag and shake well to coat them evenly.
4. 4
   Remove batches of the scallops, coat well in the batter and fry in the pre- heated oil until golden brown.
5. 5
   Remove the scallops from the oil and drain on paper towels.
6. 6
   These go great with batter fried okra, a big baked potato and Cocktail Sauce on the side.
