Ingredients

• 125 g flour
• 150 ml dry white wine
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 box cress
• vegetable oil (for deep frying)

Instructions

1. 1. Rinse the herbs under cold water, pat them dry gently with a kitchen towel, and pluck the leaves off the stems.
2. 2. Separate the egg: Carefully remove the yolk and set it aside. Whip the egg white in a clean bowl with a mixer or whisk until it is stiff and snowy.
3. 3. Mix the flour with the egg yolk, the wine, and a pinch of salt until you have a smooth batter. Let this batter rest in a quiet place for about 10 minutes.
