Ingredients- 3 large eggs
- 15 Tbsp (Tablespoons) water
- 700ml cooking oil (for deep frying)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a clean bowl, crack the 3 large eggs. Whisk them gently until the yolks and whites are well combined, but avoid creating too much foam for a smoother texture.
Step 2
Gradually add 15 tablespoons of water to the beaten eggs, whisking as you pour. The water helps create a thinner batter, contributing to a crispier exterior when fried.
Step 3
Heat approximately 700ml of cooking oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium heat. The oil temperature is crucial: too low and the ‘telur gulung’ will absorb too much oil; too high and it will burn quickly. Test the temperature by dipping the tip of a bamboo skewer; small bubbles should form around it, indicating it’s ready.
Step 4
Carefully pour about one ladleful of the egg mixture into the hot oil. Try to pour it in a way that allows it to spread thinly, perhaps by pouring in a circular motion starting from the center.
Step 5
As the egg mixture begins to set, quickly insert a bamboo skewer into the center and start rolling the egg mixture around the skewer. Roll it tightly and swiftly to create layers. The thinner the roll, the crispier it will be. Once rolled, let it fry in the oil for about 10 more seconds to ensure the outside is perfectly crisp before removing.
