Heat the oil in a large wide pot over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F/176 C. If you are unable to measure the temperature, add a droplet of batter or flour to the oil. It is ready when the batter sizzles. Do NOT bring the oil to a boil.

Fill a small bowl with flour, a second bow with beaten eggs, milk, hot sauce and salt, and a third bowl with breadcrumbs.

Step 5

Coat each boudin ball with flour.

Step 6

Step 7

Coat each boudin ball with the bread crumbs. Roll them around to get all sides.

Step 8

Fry the boudin balls in the hot oil until golden brown. Flip them once half way through if the oil doesn’t cover them entirely. You may need to fry them in batches.
