Subject: Copycat Recipe for Voodoo Crayfish Rolls
Hi Uncle! How are you? We have some friends who ate some Voodoo Crayfish Rolls at
New Orleans Food and Spirits in Metairie, Louisiana and just loved them. I would like
to surprise them with the recipe for these rolls if you could help me out?
Thanks So Much,
Sharon

Hi Sharon,
New Orleans Food and Spirits has a website at: New Orleans Food & Spirits
This is how their menu describes the rolls:
Voo-Doo Crawfish Rolls
Awesome crawfish stuffing lightly fried in spring roll
Sorry, I had no success with a recipe or one that claimed to be a copycat. I did find a recipe that mentions them here:
Lynn - Southern with a Twist
But that blogger says she was only working from a description she got over the phone. It doesn’t sound like she had ever
tasted the restaurant dish. There are some other crawfish spring roll recipes on these sites:

Hello Madelyn,
There are dozens of chicken casserole dishes with hard boiled eggs in the recipe.
If that’s all you can tell me about the dish, then all I can do is send you some
random recipes. See below.

Someone sent me a few Piccadilly recipes quite some time ago, and I filed them away for future requests. This is one of them.
Piccadilly Cafeteria Chicken Fried Pork Chops
Ingredients:
30 pork chops, 5 - 5 1/4 ozs. each
20 ozs. hard flour
4 1/2 lbs. crushed crackers
2 1/4 lbs shortening
For Batter Mix:
1 qt buttermilk
4 ozs. instant nonfat milk powder
1 qt water
3/3 oz. combination seasoning
1 TBSP white pepper
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in batter mix, whip well and hold at 45° or below.
2. Press chops firmly into flour. Dip in butter then press firmly into crushed crackers.
Chops may be breaded for one meal only. Store in refrigerator until needed. Discard leftover batter.
3. Place chops on medium hot, well greased griddle. Fry 2 1/2 minutes; turn and fry 2 1/2 minutes longer.
4. Serve with cream or brown gravy.
Equals 30 orders
Note: Pork chops are to be tapped lightly several times with masticator.
Phaed's notes:
You'll have to cut the recipe down to family-sized portion yourself.
"Hard flour" - all-purpose flour will work
"Combination seasoning" - I have no idea. Some sort of kitchen mix, I presume.I would have said salt & pepper,
but white pepper is a separate ingredient on the list.
"Medium hot, well greased griddle" - No griddle? - I'd fry these in a skillet, probably cast iron with a little oil in place of that shortening.
"Cream or brown gravy" - No idea. Use your favorite gravy that you would use with chicken or chicken fried steak.
"Tapped lightly several times with masticator." - A "masticator" is a hand-held kitchen implement used to crush or pulp food. I'm going to
speculate that in this case it's used to tenderize the chops a bit before battering them. I wouldn't rush out and buy a masticator. Just buy
pre-tenderized chops or tenderize them by whatever means you would usually tenderize meat. Don't pound them to death - have a light touch.
