Ensure the sweetbreads are thoroughly cleaned and drained to achieve the best texture and flavor. Do not overcrowd the pan when frying, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy sweetbreads. Fry in batches if necessary. Serve immediately while hot and crispy. A squeeze of lemon juice adds a bright finish.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are readily available. (5 minutes)
02
StepPrepare the Sweetbreads: Gently tear the sweetbreads into 1-inch pieces. Remove and discard any tough ligaments, rinsing the pieces under cold water as you go. (15 minutes)
03
StepDrain: Place the sweetbreads in a colander to drain thoroughly. This step is crucial for achieving a good sear. (10 minutes)
04
StepHeat the Oil: In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat ½ inch of oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature. (5 minutes)
