Tips for Success

• Keep the batter thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Fry only 2 at a time so the oil temperature stays steady.
• Check the oil with a thermometer; hot oil is dangerous, so use a deep, stable pan.

What to Put Next to It

Tomato sauce · Mustard · Hot chips · Coleslaw

If You're Missing Something

• No self-raising flour to hand? The common home substitute is the same weight of plain flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder for every 150 g, sifted together well; the rise may not be identical to a bought self-raising flour.
