Fried Rabbit Livers

Makes 4 appetizer servings

2 pounds rabbit livers
Buttermilk
Canola oil
All-purpose flour seasoned with salt and pepper

1. Soak livers in buttermilk for 10 minutes.

2. In a 4-qt. heavy saucepan, pour 3 inches of canola oil and heat to 340 degrees.

3. Dredge livers in flour, shake to remove excess, and place in hot oil, being careful to not overcrowd. Fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. When livers float, they're cooked through.
