👩‍🍳 Method

1. Prep the rabbit: Wash and disjoint the rabbit into manageable pieces.
2. Make the batter: Beat egg yolks with buttermilk. Gradually add ¾ cup flour, cornmeal, and salt. Mix until smooth.
3. Fry the rabbit: Heat lard in a skillet to 360°F (180°C). Dip rabbit in batter and fry for 7 minutes per side. Lower heat to 275°F and cook until tender, turning often (about 30 minutes).
4. Make the gravy: Pour off most of the fat, leaving 2 tsp in the pan. Stir in ¼ cup flour and scrape up the crispy bits. Slowly add milk, stirring constantly until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

🍴 Serving Tips

• Pair with mashed potatoes, biscuits, or collard greens.
• Add a dash of cayenne to the gravy for a spicy kick.
• Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley for a pop of color.
