3) To prepare the batter, sift together the salt and flour. Make a well in the center of the mixture.
4) Add the rum and egg yolks and then mix in the water very gradually to make a smooth batter that has the consistency of a thick-ish single cream.
5) Allow the mixture to rest for about 30 minutes.
6) Right before using the batter, whisk the egg whites till they are stiff.
7) Add the oil to the batter and then fold in the egg whites.
8) Heat the oil for deep frying till it hits a temperature of 385 degrees.
9) Drain the avocado slices and dip each slice in the batter.
10) Coat evenly and deep-fry in the hot oil till puffed and golden.
11) Drain briefly on kitchen paper.
SERVING
12) Dust the avocado fritters with icing sugar, place on a decorative serving platter and serve immediately with a squeeze of lime. Makes a good dessert.
