Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1.25 cups chilled sparkling water
- 4 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk until evenly blended.
Slowly pour in the chilled sparkling water while whisking continuously to create a smooth batter. The batter should have a slightly thick but runny consistency. Adjust with a tablespoon more water or flour, if needed.
Add the ice cubes to the batter to keep it cold. This helps create a crispy texture when frying.
Prepare the food you want to fry by patting it dry with paper towels to ensure the batter adheres properly.
Dip the food into the batter, coating it evenly, and immediately place it into preheated oil (350°F/175°C). Fry in small batches to maintain the oil temperature.
Cook each piece until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly crispy fried treats.
