Ingredients:
Two pounds cactus, cut into long strips, 1/4 inch wide
Egg and milk batter to roll the cactus into
Wheat and corn flour to make a breading
Salt and pepper

This is one recipe in which we don't boil the plants first, in this one the fresh cactus are cut into french fry style strips 1/4" wide and rolled in a batter of milk and eggs then rolled through flour, cornmeal or a combination of both. Frying in a skillet or deep fryer will give a deep gold/green color. They are great fresh out of the oil.
