Ingredients
- 340 g Tin of Spam 12oz
- 85 g Self Raising Flour ⅓ Cup (Plus extra to powder the Spam)
- 1 tablespoon Cornflour
- ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Powdered Mustard
- 100 ml Cold Beer ⅓ Cup + 1 tablespoon (I use an IPA)
- Oil For Frying
Instructions
- Open the spam and cut it into 6 slices.
- Heat some oil in either a wok (3-4cm deep) or a deep fat fryer to 170°-180°C or 340°-350°F.
- Mix together the flour, cornflour, baking powder, salt and powdered mustard.
- Whisk the beer into the batter, taking care not to overmix; do not worry if there are a few lumps.
- Sprinkle a little flour over the sliced spam and pat off any excess.
- Dip the spam into the batter, then drop the into the hot oil. You will need to batch fry; you will get 3 into a deep fat fryer or two into a wok. Fry for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to some kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil.
- You can keep them warm in an oven whilst you finish frying.
