You are welcome, Sylvia. You don't even have to use cornmeal, it depends on what you're cooking, but a little is good. In fried chicken, a little bit of cornmeal with your flour will give the skin a KFC texture and look. Remember butter buds? Mixing some of that kind of product into fried chicken flouring will make it taste very good, too. My mom used to mix in sesame seeds.

I always use cornmeal, along with powdered buttermilk, for coating whatever I'm to fry.
Gives a delightful crunch.
I haven't seen Butter Buds in a while.
Syl - who still fries some things, even against Dr's orders.

Syl, how long does powdered buttermilk last? Shelf life, I mean, and if you reconstitute it, is it as thick as "real" buttermilk?

This is what I use - it lasts and lasts. Of course, I use it directly from the canister. Syl -

We use Olive oil for everything we cook, except frying anything deeper than a pan coating. Doesn't hold up well above 300 degrees. Ideal fry temp is 350 for just about anything. Make sure you don't "overwhelm" your hot oil with too much product at a time. It will knock down the temp and the food will absorb the oil before it is browned.
