Olive Fritti
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (180°C).
- 3
Fry the Olives
Dip each pitted olive into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered olives in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
