Backerbsensuppe (Beef Broth with Fried Batter Pearls)
One serving has 232 kcal and 10 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of selenium (35%), riboflavin (31%), niacin (28%), cobalamin (22%), vitamin K (21%) and thiamin (20%). Ready in 30 minutes.
- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Makes: 1 serving (380 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Contains: beef, celery, dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 25 g Egg
- 20 g Milk, whole
- 25 g Flour, all-purpose
- 0.3 g Salt
- 0.05 g Nutmeg
- 8 g Vegetable oil (for frying, the part absorbed)
- 300 g Beef broth
- 2 g Chives, fresh
Method
- Whisk the egg with the milk, salt and nutmeg, then whisk in the flour to a smooth batter about as thick as pancake batter. Leave it to rest for 10 minutes.
- Heat the oil about 2 cm deep in a small saucepan to 170 °C; a drop of batter should sizzle and rise at once.
- Hold a colander or a slotted spoon with large holes over the oil and pour some of the batter through it, so it falls in small drops. Fry for 1-2 minutes, stirring gently, until the pearls are puffed and golden.
- Lift them out with a slotted spoon onto kitchen paper and fry the rest of the batter the same way.
- Bring the beef broth to a simmer in a small pot.
- Pour the hot broth into a bowl, scatter over the chopped chives and add the Backerbsen at the table, just before eating, so they stay crisp.
