Saffron colors the batter nicely yellow and gives it mild, slightly bitter flavor.
Stir the wine with the egg, saffron, egg yolk, baking powder and 100 g of flour to a smooth dough, season lightly with salt and leave to cool with the lid closed.
Cut feta into 2 cm cubes and turn to the other side in 40 g flour.
Clean, rinse and spin dry the leaf lettuce. For the salad dressing, mix vinegar with honey, mustard and olive oil until smooth, season heartily with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or high slender saucepan to about 180 °C. Turn the feta cubes in the batter to the other side, shape in portions with a fork into the hot fat and deep-fry for 2 min until golden brown.
Drain on kitchen roll. Mix the lettuce with the salad dressing. Spread fried feta evenly on top and bring to table on the spot.
If you don’t have a deep fryer but want to finish feta in a saucepan, test the proper heat of the oil this way: hold the handle end of a wooden skillet in the hot oil. If bubbles form at the base of the handle, the fat has the optimum heat – and you can start frying.
