All the batter recipes I've used are very "OK"; I want an awesome one.

For items like chicken, onion rings, shrimp, mac and cheese; good but still universal

I wouldn't batter chicken, I would Steve in flour dip in buttermilk and dredge in seasoned flour again

fucking gross

4 cups flour
1 tsp of baking powder
a tallboy's worth of some sort of lager
a handfull of ice cubes

Mix until it just comes together, NOT until smooth, and make sure none of the ice cubes go into the oil, obviously.

Why Ice cubes? what do they do?

Keeps the batter cold while you're using it, cold batter = crispier batter. I can't remember the exact science but I'm sure it's on google. For that matter you should make sure the bowl and the other ingredients are as cold as possible before mixing. In a perfect world you'd keep the bowl/container of batter in a bigger bowl/container full of salt and ice.

Dude, the recipe is easier than pancakes; how lazy are you?

9/10

Just flour, water and baking powder? I could do that, assuming something more to batters though.

Also it's easier to not batter and deep fry things than just pan frying it as-is.

If you substitute the baking powder with 1 tbsp of yeast and allow the mixture to ferment for 30mins, you'd have a superior batter.

Batter really is about that simple. I make tempura at work, unfortunately don't know what type of flour the chef buys, but the batter is flour, water, salt, and fish food. Super simple shit.

Is that some variation on orly batter?

>Just flour, water and baking powder?

use something carbonated like beer, cider, 7-up or sparkling water. Makes the batter much more "fluffier"

what orly batter?

>> No.6722999

>>6721145

I had to google that so no, it's more of a mix of beer batter ingredients and tempura technique.
