Ingredients

1 cup plain flour
1/3 cup cornflour
1 egg yolk
1 cup Victoria Bitter beer
350g cauliflower cut into florets
1 bottle oil for frying
1 lemon cut into wedges *to serve
1 cup tartare sauce *to serve

Method

Step 1

Whisk together the flours in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre. Add the yolk. Gradually pour in the beer, whisking constantly, until a smooth batter forms.
Step 2

Pour enough oil to come one-third of the way up the side of a wok or large saucepan. Heat over high heat until a cook’s thermometer reaches 180C. Add the cauliflower to the batter and stir well to coat.
Step 3

Add half of the cauliflower to the oil and cook for 3 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a rack placed over a baking tray. Repeat with the remaining cauliflower.
Step 4

Sprinkle with salt and serve with tartare sauce and lemon wedges.
