Fried Eggplant with Sifted Confectioners' Sugar

Fried Eggplant with Sifted Confectioners' Sugar

Serves 4

Ingredients:
2 young eggplant, sliced 1/4" thick
1 pinch salt
2 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
Enough flour to make a light batter
Shaker of powdered sugar

Directions:
1. In a large skillet, preheat enough oil to pan-fry the eggplant, about 1/4 cup. Season the eggplant with salt. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Whisk in the sugar and a pinch of salt. Add in enough flour to make a light batter. Soak the eggplant slice in the light batter.
2. Remove the eggplant from the batter and gently lay in the hot oil. Pan-fry the eggplant for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden-brown. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate.
3. Serve the eggplant immediately with powdered sugar.
