Instructions

1 ✓

Soak brains in cold water, then blanch briefly in boiling water. Cool and peel off the membrane.

Tip: Blanching firms up the outer layer proteins, making it easier to handle and preventing disintegration.
2 ✓

Cut into chunks, season with salt and pepper.

Tip: Be gentle with salt; the delicate flavor is easily overpowered.
3 ✓

Dredge in flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs.

Tip: Ensure the coating seals the piece completely to prevent leaking during frying.
4 ✓

Fry in hot oil until golden brown.

Tip: Caution! Water turning to steam inside can cause popping. Use a splatter screen.
5 ✓

Drain on paper towels before serving.

Tip: Serve immediately as the steam will soften the crust quickly.

Recipe FAQ

Why did it pop while frying?
Steam trapped under the membrane causes pressure. Removing the membrane and cutting into pieces prevents this.
Why is the inside runny?
Brains have high fat content and soft tissue that becomes almost liquid when heated. This creamy texture is intended.
