  In a large deep skillet heat 1 inch of the oil until it registers

  coating it thoroughly and knocking off the excess batter on the
  side of the bowl, and fry it in the oil for 30 seconds on each
  side, or until it is golden. Transfer the kale as it is fried to
  paper towels to drain and sprinkle it lightly with the coarse
  salt. Serve the kale with the lemon wedges.
