Sift together the flour, cornflour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the eggs.
Mix the flour and eggs, then gradually add the beer to the batter, beating until smooth. Mix in the oil and set aside.
Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks begin to form and add the sugar, beating until smooth and shiny.
Fold the egg whites into the batter using a large metal spoon.

Drain on paper towels, dust with the icing sugar and serve hot.
