   For the deep-fried egg, bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, add the vinegar and a pinch of salt.

   Boil 4 of the eggs for 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Remove the eggs from the saucepan using a slotted spoon, and leave to chill in a bowl of ice-cold water.

   Crack the remaining egg into a bowl. Whisk with a pinch of salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Heat the oil in a deep-fat fryer to 180C/350F.

6. 6

   Alternatively, pour the oil into a deep, heavy-based pan to a depth of 2cm/¾in and bring to the same temperature on the hob. (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous.

   Fry the eggs until golden-brown. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on kitchen paper and season with salt.
