Time 43m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
salt
freshy ground black pepper
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 cups corn oil or 3 cups peanut oil
10 frozen artichoke hearts, thawed, drained, halved lengthwise, and patted dry
1 cup bearnaise sauce

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix well.
  • In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, and olive oil. Whisk it into the dry ingredients until well incorporated; do not overmix. Set the batter aside for 30 minutes.
  • Heat the corn or peanut oil to 375*F. in a deep heavy skillet.
  • Using tongs, dip the artichoke hearts in the batter and then gently drop them in the hot oil. Fry a few at a time until golden brown, just a few seconds. Drain on paper towels, repeat with the remaining artichokes. Serve hot, with the bearnaise sauce.
  • Note: If you don't have a deep fat thermometer, drip a 1" cube of bread in the oil. If it turns golden brown within 1 minute, the oil is hot enough. Remove the bread and proceed with the recipe.
