Preparation

Place all ingredients except oil and icing sugar in a bowl. Whisk to form a smooth, thick batter. Set aside for 30 minutes.
Heat 5 mm oil in a large, deep frying pan over medium heat. Working in batches, place tablespoonfuls of batter into oil and cook for 2 minutes on each side or until golden. Drain on paper towel and serve hot, dusted with icing sugar.
