Absolutely delicious. Don't be put off with the beer in the batter ingredients - it simply makes the crunchiest batter imaginable and leaves no taste. Ingredients:
grapeseed oil or cottonseed oil, for frying |
2 pints of large strawberries, washed and hulled |
1/2 cup icing sugar |
golden syrup, for serving |
icing sugar, for serving |
ice cream, for serving |
250 g self raising flour |
1/2 cup beer |
200 ml cold water |
1 tablespoon white wine |
1 drop lemon juice |
1 tablespoon caster sugar |
Directions:
1. Combine the batter ingredients and mix well.
2. Heat the oil in a small saucepan to about 130C (not too hot- this is very important).
3. Roll each strawberry in icing sugar until it's completely coated.
4. Dip into the batter, then gently drop into the oil and cook for about 1 minute or until golden brown.
5. Place on a paper towl to drain before serving.
