Forget potato fritters, this broccoli version is deep-fryed until golden so even the kids will want to eat their greens! - oldsheila

Ingredients

1 bottle oil *for frying
1 head broccoli broken into florets

Batter

1/2 cup plain flour
1 cup beer
2 tbs butter melted
1 pinch salt
1 egg yolk
1 egg white beaten well salted

Method

Step 1

Preheat deep fryer to 205C.
Step 2

In a saucepan filled with lightly salted water, cook broccoli for 4 minutes. Rinse under cold water, drain and set aside. Cut broccoli into 2.5cm in diameter florets.
Step 3

In a bowl, mix batter ingredients together (except egg white) with a wooden spoon, and stir until smooth. Beat egg white into stiff peaks. Gently fold stiffened egg white into the batter.
Step 4

Dip 6 or 7 broccoli florets into the batter and cook in the deep fryer until golden. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Continue with remaining broccoli until all cooked.
