Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 skunks -- skinned and cleaned
1 tablespoon salt
water to cover
2 cups bear fat or lard
2 egg yolks,beaten
3 cups milk or cream
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons baking pow

Clean and wash the skunks, making sure that the scent glands are removed. Cut
up into small serving pieces. Put a soup kettle on the stove and add the
meat. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the
heat and boil until the meat is tender, about 40 minutes. Remove all the scum
that rises to the surface. Make a batter by mixing together the egg yolks,
milk, flour, salt and baking powder. Mix real good until the batter is about
like cake batter. Heat the bear fat or lard in a deep fryer to about 360
degrees. Dip the pieces of skunk in the batter and then fry them until golden
brown. Drain well and serve. Yum, yum.
