- 1 lb lamb fries (lamb testicles)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder

Step-by-step instructions:

3. In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
4. In a third shallow bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
5. Dip each lamb fry into the flour mixture, then the beaten eggs, and finally the breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the lamb fries to ensure they stick.

8. Remove the lamb fries from the oil with tongs and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Substitutions for ingredients:
- Lamb fries can be substituted with chicken gizzards or beef testicles.
- Panko breadcrumbs can be used instead of regular breadcrumbs.

Variations:

Tips and tricks:
- Make sure to pat the lamb fries dry before breading to ensure the breadcrumbs stick.
- Do not overcrowd the fryer or pot with too many lamb fries at once, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy fries.
- Serve the lamb fries immediately after frying for the best texture.
