Preparing Fritters

Prepare a light batter using 300 g plain flour, 2 tbsp potato flour, a pinch of salt, 250 ml light beer or lager and 2 eggs. Stir in 1 tbsp oil. Use a two-pronged fork to dip fruit in the batter, allowing the excess batter to drain off. Heat the vegetable oil to 190°C to deep-fry the fritters. Drain, then turn in caster sugar.

1. Peel and cut the fruit, removing pips or stones. Drain well on kitchen paper, then dip into the batter.

   

2. Deep-fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes until crisp and golden. Once fried, drain well on kitchen paper.

   

3. Turn the fritters in caster sugar, giving them an even coating. Serve fritters immediately.
