Batter for Deep-Fried Chillies

• 100 g plain flour
• Pinch of salt
• 1 egg

Sift the flour and salt into a bowl and make a well in the centre. Lightly beat the egg and pour into the well. Gradually begin to draw the flour from the sides into the egg, beating with a wooden spoon. When almost all incorporated, beat in the milk to make a smooth batter. If necessary, sieve the batter to remove any lumps.
