  • Combine the lemon myrtle with 2 teaspoon salt flakes in a bowl and set aside.
  • For the batter, whisk together the egg yolk and sparkling water. Add the flour and lightly whisk to combine.
  • Half-fill a deep-fryer or large saucepan with oil and heat to 190°C (a cube of bread will turn golden in 30 seconds when the oil is hot enough).
  • Place the cornflour on a plate. Lightly coat prawns, onion and potato in cornflour, then dip in the batter to thickly coat. In batches, lower into the hot oil and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden and puffed.
