Grandma's Breaded Sole

"My Grandma always made this when I was a kid. You can eat it warm and fresh out of the pan, or I like to stick it in the fridge and then snack off the cold pieces for lunch."

directions

  • Cut the sole up into pieces about 2 inches wide.
  • In a small bowl, beat the egg and cornstarch together.
  • On a plate, break up the crackers and corn flakes into crumbs.
  • My grandma liked to use her potato masher to do this.
  • I just crumble them up in my hands.
  • Make sure they're really small.
  • One piece at a time, dip the sole first into the egg mixture, then cover it with crumbs.
  • Melt some butter in a frying pan.
  • Fry the pieces of sole for about 10 minutes, until they're cooked.
  • Make sure the bottom of the pan is always buttery, even if it's a non-stick pan.
  • It softens the crust and makes it stick together.

  1. Great recipe! Always looking for ways to include the kids in food preparation and this works great for all ages.Were a spicey group so we added fresh ground pepper and Garlic powder to the cracker mixture.
     
  2. I liked this one, tasted like southern country fried fish. Buttery and crunchy, thanks for sharing!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

So basically, I cook two nights a week for a household of four adults including myself. Here are their dietary preferences: Person #1) Eats no meat, but seafood ok. Person #2) Eats no meat, seafood, eggs, cheese or fermented items. Person #3) Dislikes veggies, ethnic foods, and dishes with a lot of sauce. No tofu (this makes feeding persons 1 and 2 very difficult). Loves meat. Person #4) Dislikes cooked veggies (raw ok) and tofu. Dislikes onions and peppers of any kinds. Usually I end up making a meat-n-potatoes dish one night a week to satisfy diners #3 and 4, since the no-meat rule of diners #1 and 2 is a dietary thing, not moral/ethical, so they are okay with me picking out chunks of meat from say, a stew, and replacing it with veggie meat in their plates. The other night I make something vegetarian - squash as a main dish or something with lentils and beans. As long as there's no tofu, diners #3 and 4 will eat it, albeit with little enthusiasm. <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg">
