- let sit 2 hours.
- In a shallow bowl, combine eggs, flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper. Remove testicles from beer; drain
- Dredge thoroughly in the flour mixture.
- In a large, deep pot, heat oil to 375 degrees F.
- Deep fry 3 minutes or until golden brown (will rise to the surface when done).
- Drain on paper towels.
- Serve warm with your favorite hot pepper sauce.
