Ingredients:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 2 tablespoons good brandy
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • cold water
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • fruit chunks

Preparation:

Beat the yolks of the eggs well and add the flour, beating very light. Add the melted butter and the brandy, and thin with a little cold water to the consistency of a very thick batter. Beat egg whites to thick peaks; add to the batter, and then dip the fruit into this, immersing well at one dipping. Heat oil to 360°. With a tablespoon, drop battered fruit into the hot oil and fry to a golden brown. The batter must be thick enough to coat the fruit all around in one immersion, yet it should not be so thick as to be over heavily coated or tough.
