This is a classic Japanese tempura batter. It works well with fresh vegetables, or seafood.
- In a deep fryer or deep sauce pan, heat oil to 375 degrees.
- Stir flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, salt, ice water, oil and egg yolks in a large bowl until well blended.
- Add shrimp, seafood or vegetables and stir to coat well.
- Pick up vegetables or seafood with tongs, letting excess drip off, and carefully place a few coated items into the oil at a time.
- Fry until golden brown, remove and drain on a wire rack (which is best) or on paper towels.
Best tempura batter I’ve had. I made deep fried fish and onion rings. My family has requested the onion rings be made once a week. 🙂
