Step 1
Soak the sage leaves in a bowl of cold water, so as to eliminate any earthy residue, and dry them delicately with a clean cotton cloth.
Step 2
Collect the sifted flour in a bowl with a pinch of salt, then pour in the cold beer from the fridge and mix continuously with a whisk until you obtain a smooth, lump-free batter.
Step 3
Dip the sage leaves into the prepared batter.
Step 4
Dip the battered leaves, a few at a time, into the boiling seed oil and let them cook until golden brown; then, as they are ready, drain them on a sheet of kitchen paper. Use a pan with tall, narrow sides and remember not to fry them all at once: this way, the oil temperature will not drop and the final result will be optimal.
Step 5
Transfer the fried sage to a serving plate, season with a pinch of salt, bring to the table and serve immediately. Enjoy!
