Frytor of Erbes

Modern Redaction

Method:

mix the flour and water into a batter. Add the chopped herbs and mix. This dish is a fried batter, and it's probably best done in a deep-fat fryer pre-heated to 190°C. Alternatively place about 6 cm of oil in a wok and heat this. Take a heaped tablespoon of batter and drop into the hot oil. Fry for about four minutes until brown and crispy.

Take from the oil with a slotted spoon and serve drizzled with honey.
