Battered Gherkin Slices

3 or 4 Medium Gerkins
110g(4 oz) Self Raising Flour
1 tbsp Corn Flour
Pinch of Salt
Dash of Pepper
150ml Cold Lager

Place flour, corn flour, and pepper into a large bowl. Whisk in the lager. If the batter seems too thick, keep adding more beer in small amounts. If the batter seems thin, keep adding more flour in small amounts. Normally the addition of one or two tablespoons of flour will thicken up the batter.

Slice each gherkin into thick slices. Dip in batter and cook in preheated 180C oil for several minutes. When they begin to float to the top of the oil, use tongs to turn over, cooking both sides.
