Ingredients

1	x	snails	canned or cooked
1	x	vegetable oil	for frying
1	x	parsley sprigs	for garnish
2	large	eggs	separated
1 1/2	cups	flour, all-purpose

1	x	salt and black pepper
1	tablespoon	olive oil

Directions

First make the batter.

Mix the egg yolks with the flour and olive oil.

Add a little warm water to give a smooth, creamy consistency.

Season and leave to stand.

Just before using, gently fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites.

Drain the snails and marinade for 1 hour in the olive oil and chopped herbs (parsley, tarragon, chives, and chervil).

Drop the snails into the batter by the handful, then remove them one by one and drop into the hot frying oil (2 at a time in the case of petits-gris); fry until golden brown, then drain on paper towels.

Serve garnished with fried parsley.
