Ingredients

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar

6 tablespoons water

1 egg, separated

1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped

Butter or oil for frying

Preparation

Mix the flour, salt, sugar, water, egg yolk, and sage into a smooth batter. In a separate bowl beat egg white until it holds stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg white into the sage batter. Heat the butter or oil in a skillet and fry the sage batter, in heaping tablespoons, for 1 minute on each side, until golden brown.

Drain the petits pâtés on paper towels before serving.
