Fried Sage Leaves

Gently wash and thoroughly dry the fresh sage leaves. Ensure they are completely dry to prevent oil splattering during frying.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the "00" flour and a pinch of fine sea salt.

Gradually add the egg and cold sparkling water to the flour mixture, whisking continuously until a smooth, lump-free batter is formed. The consistency should be light and fluid.
