I've tried the shake and fry mix and it didn't work very well for me. I'm thinking I must be doing something wrong......

but when I put the mix in a baggie like suggested in Fast and Easy it just soaks the egg right off the stuff I'm trying to coat and I end up with no coating on my meat and a big bag of dough.

Do you have any advice for me? How did you do it? I had thought that drudging the meat in it would be better- maybe using small batches of the mix so it doesn't have a chance to soak up as much egg?

I would really love your help! My husband was so excited about the chicken fried steak until he found out it required that shake and fry mix (he had helped that first time I tried it with the fish and chips recipes and what a dismal failure!).

thanks so much!
