Recipes

For perfect batter

1.Always sift all dry ingredients, then add liquids. Mix until smooth.

2.Keep your batter as cold as possible (it will be crisper).

3.Coat food in seasoned flour before batter, the batter will stick to the food better.

4.Fry until golden brown.

5.Always use the 'Cooking Home Battered Food' technique, see page 8 for more information.

Beer batter

1 cup plain flour

½teaspoon baking powder pinch salt

¾ cup cold beer

Crispy sesame batter

1 cup cornflour

2 eggs

¹/³ cup water (cold)

2 tablespoon sesame seeds

Sweet fritter batter

1 egg

²/³ cup milk

1 cup self raising flour

1 tablespoon sugar

1 tablespoon melted butter or margarine

Tempura batter

½cup plain flour ¼ cup rice flour

1 teaspoon bicarb soda

1 cup soda water (ice cold)

1 egg

Note: It’s very important to keep this batter cold. A good tip is to chill all ingredients before use.

Easy crispy coating

1 egg
