Categories     Food & Cooking

Time 3h

Yield Makes enough for a garnish

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 large egg white
4 to 6 small sage sprigs
Superfine sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Beat egg white with 1/2 teaspoon water. Lightly brush sage sprigs with egg-white mixture just to moisten, tapping off excess. Sprinkle with superfine sugar to coat completely. Let dry on parchment that has been coated with a thin layer of superfine sugar.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sage leaves. Look for fresh, tender leaves that are free of blemishes. Avoid leaves that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Wash the sage leaves thoroughly. Rinse the leaves under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
  • Remove the stems from the sage leaves. Use a sharp knife to cut the stems off the leaves. This will help the leaves to crisp up better when they are fried.
  • Coat the sage leaves in a light layer of flour. This will help the leaves to adhere to the egg wash and bread crumbs.
  • Dip the sage leaves in beaten egg. Make sure the leaves are evenly coated with the egg wash.
  • Coat the sage leaves in bread crumbs. Press the leaves into the bread crumbs to make sure they are evenly coated.
  • Fry the sage leaves in hot oil. Fry the leaves for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Drain the sage leaves on paper towels. This will help to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the sage leaves immediately. They are best enjoyed fresh and crispy.

Conclusion:

Sugared sage is a delicious and versatile garnish that can be used to add a touch of sweetness and sophistication to a variety of dishes. It is perfect for garnishing desserts, cocktails, and even savory dishes. With its delicate flavor and beautiful appearance, sugared sage is sure to impress your guests.
