Ingrediënten

• 2/3 cup (100g) self-raising flour

• 24 large sage leaves — from 2 bunches

Materiaal

• large bowl
• deep frypan

Bereiding

1. 1

   Whisk flour, lager and some freshly ground pepper together in a large bowl. Heat 3cm oil in a deep frypan over medium heat (a cube of bread will turn golden in 15 seconds when the oil is hot enough).

2. 2

   In batches, coat the sage leaves in the batter, shaking off any excess, then fry for 1 minute each side or until golden and crisp. Drain well on paper towel, then season with salt and serve immediately.⏱ 2 min
