Fried Scallops

Directions

1. 1
   Combine flour, corn flour and baking powder in a medium-size aluminum baking pan and shake around to mix well.
2. 2
   Dry scallops with paper towels, then dip both sides in flour mixture and shake off any excess.
3. 3
   Put a 20-inch iron skillet over a propane gas burner and turn burner to high.
4. 4
   Add enough oil to come to a depth of just over 1/4 inch.
5. 5
   Heat until oil is hot but not smoking; you can test it by dropping a small piece of scallop into the oil; it should bubble furiously.
6. 6
   When oil is hot, add scallops in batches small enough so theyre not crowded, and cook just until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
7. 7
   Drain on paper towels and eat right away.
