Method

  • 1. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, lemon zest and sea salt with the reserved oyster juice. Slowly add cold water to make a mixture similar to thickened cream. Set aside for 1-2 hours to rest.

  • 2. When ready to cook, use a small saucepan and heat the oil to medium hot. It is ready when a few drops of the batter dropped in sizzle immediately and float to the top.

  • 3. Using tongs, dip each oyster into the batter, then into the oil to fry until golden brown. Cook a few at a time but don’t crowd the saucepan. Drain on paper towels when cooked.

  • 4. Mix the mayonnaise with the lemon juice in a small serving bowl.

  • 5. Serve the hot oyster puffs sprinkled with the parsley, plus slices of lemon and mayonnaise.

  • Tip:

  • The smaller the saucepan for cooking, the less oil you will need to use. This may increase cooking time slightly.
