How to Make Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup ice water until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix.
- Add 1 large egg yolk (optional, for extra richness) and whisk gently to combine.
- Dip your favorite vegetables (mushrooms, onion rings, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower) or protein (fish fillets, chicken strips) into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Carefully place the battered items into a preheated deep fryer or large pot with at least 2 inches of oil heated to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the fryer.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your deliciously crispy creations!
