1 cup of all-purpose flour

4 top-sliced hot dog rolls
4 tablespoons of melted butter

How to Make Clam Roll

In a large heavy-bottomed pot add a few inches of oil and let it heat up
In a large bowl, add the evaporated milk and shucked clams
Add both the flours into a large bowl by sifting it and then mix them together. Then drop some soaked clams into the now sifted flour and toss them to let them get coated. Take out the clams one by one, shake off the excess flour, and then drop it in the preheated oil. Add the clams in the oil to make batches and then cook them until they are golden brown, this should take 45 seconds to 1 minute.
Take the buns, slice them open, and then toast the buns on the griddle. Remove the buns once they have turned golden-brown on both sides.
Add the fried clams to the toasted buns and then slather it with some tartar sauce.
For the tartar sauce
In a medium-sized bowl, add mayonnaise, lemon juice and zest, kosher salt, black pepper, and sweet pickle relish. You can slather this on the clam and the buns, or pour them in a bowl and serve with the bun. Garnish the rolls with herbs and serve them with lemon wedges.
