Hrm.  Yes, Spam.  We had a Hawaiian-themed murder mystery, complete with Luau, so Margie (playing the cook/witch doctor) cooked up some yummy hors d’oevres, including stuff involving Spam.  While subject to much ridicule, these were actually — tasty.  Who’da thunk?

Ingredients:

• 1 Spam Classic (12 oz.)
• 1½ cups Bisquik (or similar complete pancake mix)
• 2 tspn Cajun seasoning
• 1 cup milk
• 1½ cups shredded coconut

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375F
2. Cut Spam into 32 spears. 
3. Place a wooden toothpick lengthwise into each spear.
4. In a bowl, combine pancake mix and cajun seasoning, gradually adding milk, stirring until smooth.
5. Dip each spear into batter, roll in coconut until lightly coated.
6. Place on baking sheet.  Bake 10-13 minutes, turning halfway* through baking, until golden brown and batter is cooked through.

Serves: 32 or so, depending on how you slice it (so to speak).

Notes:  These are tasty on their own, but the recipe notes you can dip in sweet-n-sour sauce.  Turning wasn’t necessary in a convection oven.

Source:  Hormel, of course.
