FRIED SAGE IN BATTER
INGREDIENTS
- 50 Sage Leaves with the stalk
- 100 g of 00 flour
- 200 ml of cold beer
- Salt to taste
10 g of brewer's yeast or 1/2 teaspoon of instant powder
1/2 l of seed oil for frying
PREPARATION
Wash the sage leaves and dry them thoroughly with paper towels. Combine the flour, a pinch of salt, and the baking powder in a bowl. Add the cold beer, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Pour the oil into a pan and heat to 170°C (340°F). Dip one leaf at a time into the batter, holding it by the stem, then lower it into the oil. Fry 2-3 leaves at a time, turning them with a fork. Once they're golden brown and puffed, drain them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to absorb the excess oil. Season with salt and serve the fried sage leaves hot and crispy.
