How to Make Batter For Vegetables

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 1 cup buttermilk and 1 large egg to the dry ingredients.
  3. Whisk vigorously until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Dip thinly sliced vegetables (such as zucchini, bell peppers, onions, or green beans) into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
  6. Carefully place the battered vegetables into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove the fried vegetables from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
