Ingredients
- 20 sage leaves
- ½ cup (60 grams) all purpose flour
- 2.5 tablespoons (18 grams) cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup (120 ml) light beer
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Add the beer and mix until smooth.
- Heat approximately one inch (2.5 cm) of oil in a small pot over medium to medium-high heat. If using a thermometer, the oil should be at about 380°F (190°C). Alternatively drop a pinch of flour into the oil – it’s ready for frying if it starts to bubble.
- When the oil is hot, dip each sage leaf into the batter and let the excess drip off.
- Working in batches, fry each leaf for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Remove to a paper towel lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Sprinkle with salt and serve warm.
