Beer Batter Fried Bay Scallops

These are great!!

Steps

Rinse the scallops and drain to a towel.
In a large bowl , mix 1 / 2 cup of the flour , the corn meal , hot sauce , salt and pepper with enough beer to make a batter a little thinner than a pancake batter.
Put the remaining flour in a plastic bag , add the scallops , close the bag and shake well to coat them evenly.
Remove batches of the scallops , coat well in the batter and fry in the pre- heated oil until golden brown.
Remove the scallops from the oil and drain on paper towels.
These go great with batter fried okra , a big baked potato and cocktail sauce on the side.
