How to Make Perfect Deep Fry Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
- Gradually whisk in the ice water, ensuring no lumps form. The batter should be smooth but slightly thick.
- Add the egg yolk and vegetable oil to the batter and whisk gently to combine.
- Gently fold in the ice-cold beer (this adds a wonderful crispness).
- Heat your cooking oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the correct temperature for optimal results.
- Dip your desired food items into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Carefully place the battered food into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
- Fry for approximately 3-5 minutes per batch, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip halfway to ensure even cooking.
- Remove the fried food from the oil and place it on a wire rack to drain any excess oil.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly crispy creation!
