Orange Chips - Black Country Chips

Orange Chips - Black Country Chips recipe, eat well on universal credit

We’ve experimented with battered chips before, not knowing that they are actually a ‘Thing’ in the West Midlands. So instead of our potterings, here’s a more traditional (But Gluten free) version.

Ingredients:-

2 Large Potatoes
1 Egg, beaten
5 tbsp sparkling water
6-7 tbsp Cornflour
A pinch of Baking Powder
1 Tsp of Turmeric

Method:-

(1) Skin the spuds and cut them into think chips.
(2) Parboil in Salted water.
(3) Drain and allow to cool.
(4) Fry for a short time at 160c, but not long enough to brown.
(5) Drain over kitchen paper.
(6) Mix the batter.
(7) Dunk in batches and fry until the batter colours and is crispy.

We served ours as part of an all day breakfast. But they will work as a side for any dish, apart from Ice-cream. That might not be a great combination….

Indianificated Onion Rings, eat well on universal credit

OK I noticed the other day that we’ve never actually posted our recipe for Gluten free Onion Rings.  So….. I’m not going to! Work it out yourselves!

Joking aside, I added Fenugreek and Chipotle Chilli Flakes to our usual batter to give this version a bit of an ‘Indian’ twist, which worked remarkably well.

Batter Ingredients:-

50% Cornflour
50% Gram Flour
Soda Water
1 Tsp of Baking Powder
1 Tsp of Garlic Salt
1 Tsp of Fenugreek
½ Tsp of  Chipotle Chilli Flakes

Method:-

(1) Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
(2) Add enough Soda Water to make a stiff batter.
(3) Dredge the cut Onion in Cornflour.
(4) Fry in small batches at 170c.
(5) Drain on kitchen paper before serving.

We had some discounted Rump Steaks to use on this occasion. So the Onion Rings are on top of Steak with a fried Egg, I know it’s not clear from the picture….. There are no precise measurements for the flours, just use enough Flour and Soda Water so you have enough batter.
