Notes
Tips:
- If you don't have a thermometer for your frying oil, try medium high heat and dropping a little of the batter into the oil. If it starts to turn golden in 20 seconds or so and steadily bubbles, it's at the right temperature. If it bubbles over vigorously and browns very quickly, it's too hot.
- If you do not have cider, try using beer for a slightly different flavoured batter - use your favourite!
