Steps:
- For Fritter Batter: Sift 1 cup plain flour and a pinch of salt into a bowl.
- Add 1 egg yolk, 1 tablespoon oil and 3/4 cup lukewarm water.
- Beat until smooth.
- Let stand for 10 minutes then fold in stiffly beaten egg white. Use immediately.
- Wash and dry eggplant. I place paper towels over and under the eggplant to soak up all the liquid. Just keep changing them for a while until they quit getting really wet.
- Cut into 1/4 inch slices and spread out on trays.
- Sprinkle with salt and leave for 1 hour.
- Pat dry with paper towels and coat with flour or fritter batter. I like the fritter batter.
- Shallow fry in hot oil until golden brown and crisp on each side - 10 minutes in all.
- Drain on paper towel and serve hot with Garlic Sauce (optional).
