PEKING APPLES
INGREDIENTS:
4 crisp eating apples, 125g (4 oz/1 cup) plain (all purpose) flour, 1 egg, 125 ml (4 fl oz/ ½ cup) water and the syrups are 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 6 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons golden syrup, 2 tablespoons water and iced water to set.
PREPARATION:
In a large bowl, stir the egg and water into the flour to make a thick batter. Peel, core and thickly slice apples. Dip each apple slice in the batter to evenly coat; allow excess to drain off. In a wok, heat oil until smoking. Add apple pieces in batches and deep fry for 3 minutes until golden brown. Using a slotted spoon, remove to absorbent kitchen paper to drain. To make syrup, in a small saucepan, gently heat oil, water and sugar, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring. Stir in golden syrup and boil for 5-10 minutes until hard and stringy. Reduce heat to very low. Dip each piece of apple into syrup to coat then place in ice cold water for a few seconds. Remove to a serving dish. Repeat with remaining apple. Serve immediately.
