Country Fried Venison

My husband was lucky enough to get a 7 point buck during Archery Season.  We now have pounds of Venison in our freezer.  The only problem is finding new and delicious ways to cook it.  Why not Country Fried!  I found a good recipe from Cooking with Kay. 

She made the original recipe with 4 lbs of backstrap.  I only used 1 lb and so I quartered the recipe.  The only change I made to the flour mix was adding 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder. I have to say even the flour mix smelled delicious.  The coriander powder really makes the mix fragrant.  Also I recommend adding the Curry powder.  My family normally hates anything Curry, but my husband and daughter didn't notice and it really added an extra oomph to the flour mix.

 I then breaded the venison

 and fried it.

Now I am a notoriously bad gravy maker.  I have tried time and time again.  Even though K's recipe makes it sound extremely easy,  I was not brave enough to try it.  So I cheated and used gravy mix.  All you have to do is add hot water.  That's right up my alley and it really tasted quite good.


Lastly make some mashed potatoes.  Because Country Fried Venison is not the same without some fluffy, buttery scrumptious mashed potatoes.  And Serve.
