INGREDIENTS

• 2 pounds venison steak
• 1/2 cup cooking oil
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground sage
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• For Country Gravy:
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/4 cup butter
• 2 cups milk
