1 servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | tablespoons | Unbleached all-purpose flour |
| ¼ | teaspoon | Salt |
| 1 | tablespoon | Sugar |
| 6 | tablespoons | Water |
| 1 | large | Egg; separated |
| 1 | tablespoon | Chopped fresh sage leaves |
| Vegetable oil for frying | ||
Directions
Sift the flour, salt, and sugar into a medium bowl. Add the water and egg yolk, and mix to a smooth paste. Mix in the chopped sage leaves, cover, and set aside to rest for 30 minutes. When ready to serve, in a small bowl beat the egg white until stiff but not dry and fold into the batter until well mixed. Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet to 375 degrees over medium heat.
Drop the batter by teaspoons into the hot oil, cooking 3 to 4 cakes at a time. Fry the cakes until golden brown on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Drain the cakes on paper towels and serve immediately. Makes approximately 12 cakes.
