This is great- in answer to James, the flour just somehow dusts the leaves, and then they fry very quickly I used gluten free flour, and tried it with both sea salt, and truffle salt. These are super easy, and a great addition to an appetizer tray, and a great way to use the leaves from an overactive Sage plant. My spouse, who is very picky, was wowed.
Fried sage is delicious, but what is the point of the flour? I accidentally tossed in two uncoated leaves and they fried up just as well. Was the recipe supposed to end up with lightly battered leaves and I was too good at dusting lightly and knocking off flour? I feel daft for asking on such a simple recipe, but there is no picture.

How do you get the flour to coat if they are paytex dry?
