Step 1
1. The recipe for cutlets in batter should begin with preparing the batter. To do this, sift flour into a deep bowl. Add a little salt and, at the same time, put water on the stove and bring it to a boil. Pour vegetable oil into the flour and mix well. When the water boils, pour it into the batter, stirring constantly. The batter should turn out thick and elastic.

Season both sides of each piece with salt and pepper to taste, and add your favorite spices if desired. Let the cutlets sit for 10-15 minutes.
