Preparation
Step 1
Place the flour, eggs and sesame seeds in separate shallow bowls at least 5-inches in diameter. Wrap each spear of asparagus with pancetta, leaving the tip exposed.
Heat the oil in medium straight-sided skillet over medium heat until it register 350 degrees F. on a deep fry or candy thermometer.
Dredge the wrapped asparagus spears in flour, shaking off the excess. Carefully roll the pancetta-wrapped section in the egg; coat that section with sesame seeds.
Fry in the hot oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Drain on a paper towel lined plate. Season with salt. Thread the spears from their bottoms lengthwise onto bamboo skewers (optional). Serve warm or at room temperature.
