🍴 Instructions:
- Prepare the rabbit:
Pat rabbit pieces dry. Mix flour, salt, pepper, and paprika in a shallow dish. Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour. - Fry the rabbit:
Heat about ½ inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry rabbit pieces 6–8 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside on paper towels to drain. - Make the white gravy:
In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour to make a roux, cooking for 1–2 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth and thickened. Season with salt and pepper. - Combine:
Pour the gravy over the fried rabbit or serve it on the side for dipping. - Serve:
Enjoy with mashed potatoes, biscuits, or roasted vegetables — classic Southern comfort at its finest! 😋
💡 Tips:
- Let rabbit pieces marinate in buttermilk for a few hours for extra tenderness.
- Use a deep skillet so the gravy doesn’t stick or burn.
- You can add a dash of garlic powder or onion powder to the flour for extra flavor.
