Directions

In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until thick.

Beat in milk, 2 tablespoons flour, salt, and lemon juice.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff.

Fold into the batter. Add clams.

Chill the mixture for 2 to 4 hours.

In a heavy saucepan, pour in enough oil to measure 2 to 3 inches deep.

Heat to 375℉ (190℃).

Add the clams, several at a time, and fry until puffed and golden, about 3 minutes.

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain well on paper towels.

Serve with tartar sauce and thick slices of French bread.
