Yep, It only takes a bit more work to get the membrane off. Throw them in the freezer for 25-30 min to you can work with them easier. Slide a small pairing knife under the membrane and make a slit then work the membrane off. If they start getting too soft just throw them back in the freezer.
Cut them into rounds and kept them really cold so they would hold their shape. Dredged in seasoned flour (cayenne, salt and pepper), then egg wash, then panko. Then re-froze again.
Then fried at 350 for a few min. Until golden brown.

It was my favorite dish. The spicyness of the fried and crunchy meat went well with the sweet jam.

Nope. Just like to cook. I'm a RN and nurse manager. My mother taught me a lot about cooking. Then kept teaching myself when I got to college.
