How to Make Batter For Vegetables
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- Add 1 cup buttermilk and 1 large egg to the dry ingredients.
- Whisk vigorously until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Dip thinly sliced vegetables (such as zucchini, bell peppers, onions, or green beans) into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Carefully place the battered vegetables into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fried vegetables from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
