Deep Fry Batter

EXTRA CRISPY BATTER FRY

This Recipe can be doubled easily or more! 

1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1  tbsp oil( Vegetable is the best, but can use canola, or peanut oil...... olive oil wont work)
2/3 cup lukewarm water
1 egg white stiffly beaten

Oil for frying. 2-4 cups. 

Vegetables for frying ( IE: mushrooms, zucchini)

Chicken, Pork, Shrimp,  and/or fish for frying

Dredge Coating: 1/2 cup flour, salt, garlic, paprika and pepper.
Items that may be needed: 
Rubber Spatula
Deep Frying Spatula ( best I ever found came in my Wok set.)
Large Pot or an Electric Deep Frying Pot. Like a Fry Daddy 
Wooden Spoon. For mixing.

Combine the first four ingredients. ( use the Wooden Spoon here. ) Let stand 30-60 minutes.

Meanwhile mix the dredge coating.  Set aside.
 

Fold in the egg white.  Use a big rubber spatula and add the egg white gently, so it wont "fall"

When ready, rinse and pat dry the meat or veggies u r going to coat.

Dredge ( means to coat very lightly)  the vegetables or meat you r frying, first in the seasoned flour. The dip in the batter, let excess drip off.

Fry until golden brown.  Dont over fry, otherwise will be chewy. 


NOTE: I use this for my beer battered halibut too. I use beer in place of the water. 


From my head. Enjoy!
