BATTER TO USE FOR DEEP FRYING FOODS

Recipe By : The Cook's Book of Uncommon Recipes
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Hints, Tips & Misc

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 cup water
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon oil

Mix all of the ingredients together and blend until there are no lumps.
Preheat the oil in your deep fat fryer to the proper temperature for the
food you are cooking. Dry the fish or the vegetables with a paper towel and
dip into the batter. Place in the hot oil one piece at a time. Try to keep
the pieces from colliding until the batter has had a chance to set (which it
does almost instantly). Cook until the batter has turned a golden brown,
remove to a paper towel to drain and serve at once.

YIELD: enough for about 2 pounds of fish or vegetables

NOTES : This is very good to use for zucchini, broccoli, peppers, green
beans, onion rings and any other firm vegetable.
