How to Make Lacy Tempura Batter
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup cake flour, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. Make sure there are no lumps.
- In a separate small bowl, gently whisk together 1 large egg white and 1 cup ice-cold water until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently pour the egg white mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix with a whisk using only a few strokes until just combined. The batter should remain lumpy and slightly undermixed.
- If the batter appears too smooth, gradually sprinkle in extra cake flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you achieve the desired consistency.
- Add more ice-cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the batter is too thick. Aim for a consistency that is slightly thicker than pancake batter.
- Immediately dip your vegetables or seafood into the batter and fry in hot oil (350°F/175°C) until golden brown and crispy.
