Paula Deen = awesome

Paula Dean has a recipe called deep fried butter balls. Could she get any more awesome? She is frying butter! French fries are at least a fried vegetable.... Paula is taking one of the worst foods for you and frying it.

I am not bashing Paula...on the contrary I am totally in awe of her. How does she think of things like this? How does she have the guts? I want to be her.

If you want to do something awesome make these and tell me how they turn out...I myself do not yet have the guts to fry butter. I have copied and pasted the recipe here in case you wanted to see it.

Oh yeah and Paula Deen has sons. I would so marry one of them. Just to meet Paula of course.

Ingredients

• 2 sticks butter
• 2 ounces cream cheese
• Salt and pepper
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
• Peanut oil, for frying

Directions

Cream the butter, cream cheese, salt and pepper together with an electric mixer until smooth. Using a very small ice cream scoop, or melon baller, form 1-inch balls of butter mixture and arrange them on a parchment or waxed paper lined sheet pan. Freeze until solid. Coat the frozen balls in flour, egg, and then bread crumbs and freeze again until solid.

When ready to fry, preheat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.

Fry balls for 10 to 15 seconds until just light golden. Drain on paper towels before serving.
