  • - ¼ tsp baking soda
  • - ¼ tsp baking powder
  • - ¼ tsp salt
  • - ¾ cup cold water adjust as needed

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add cold water slowly and mix gently until batter is just combined and slightly thick. Don’t overmix—some lumps are fine.
  3. Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350–375°F (175–190°C).
  4. Dip dry vegetables, seafood, or chicken into batter, letting excess drip off.
  5. Fry in batches, flipping once, until golden and crispy (2–4 mins per side).
  6. Transfer to a wire rack to drain. Serve immediately with your favorite dips.

Notes

- For extra flavor: Use beer instead of water.
- For gluten-free version: Replace flour with ½ cup rice flour + ¼ cup cornstarch.
- For sweet fritters: Omit salt and add 1 tsp sugar + ½ tsp cinnamon.
- Best served fresh and hot.
