1 cup self-rising flour
2 eggs
1 cup of milk
Salt and Pepper to taste (approximately 1 tablespoon of salt and 1/2 tablespoon of pepper)
oil for frying
Slice Spam into about 1/8 inch pieces. The thinner the slice, the crispier it will be – but slice too thin and it will fall apart during cooking. In a bowl, whip together eggs and milk. In a separate bowl, mix self-rising flour, salt and pepper. Heat approximately 1 and 1/2 cups of cooking oil in a large pan. Dip each slice individually into the milk/egg wash. Next coat both sides of each slice in the flour mixture. Carefully place into hot oil. It’s important to make sure your oil is hot and ready for frying. You can check by tossing a sprinkle of the flour mixture into the oil. If it begins to bubble and actively fry, you’re ready. Placing Spam pieces in the oil before it’s hot can result in greasy Spam. And that’s just no good. Allow a few minutes (3-5) to brown before turning over to cook the other side. Place on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb additional oil after frying.
