Ingredients

1	cup	flour, all-purpose
3	tablespoons	water	cold
1	each	egg	beaten
3	tablespoons	white wine
1	each	egg white
1	tablespoon	butter	melted that has been allowed to cool
1	pinch	salt
1	pinch	sugar
1	x	sage leaves	fresh
1	x	vegetable oil	or shortening, for deep frying

Directions

Take the flour and mix with the cold water into a thick batter that must be smooth. Then mix in the beaten egg and stir well; pour in a little sour wine, yet not too much.

Beat the egg white into soft peaks and fold into the batter. Finally, add the butter as well as a very little salt and sugar and stir the batter once more.

Wash and dry off the sage leaves, dredge them in the batter, and fry them on both sides in hot lard (see Note) until crispy.

Note: fold in the egg white last of all and let the batter sit for about 30 minutes beforehand. Also, vegetable oil or shortening is recommended for deep frying rather than lard.

Makes 8 servings.
