Tips

  • A thermometer is worth more here than any other kit. Guessing oil temperature is where most of these go wrong.
  • Season the flour, not the finished item. It seasons the whole thing rather than the surface.
  • Cook in batches and keep the finished ones on a rack in a low oven.
  • For reference, the counter portion weighs 100g and carries 255 kcal, which is the size to aim for rather than a guess.

Variations

  • Air fry at 200C for eight to ten minutes with a light spray of oil for a lower fat version.
  • Add cayenne or chilli flakes to the coating for a spicy version.
  • Serve with a dip made from mayonnaise, garlic and lemon.

A dip on the side and something cold. These work as a side or as part of a sharing plate.
