English Simpal Recipes

Certainly! Here's a classic tempura batter recipe:

• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup ice-cold water (adjust quantity as needed for desired consistency)
• Ice cubes English Simpal Recipes (for keeping water cold)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
   • Add ice cubes to cold water to keep it chilled.

   • Gradually pour the ice-cold water into the dry ingredients while gently whisking. Mix until the batter is just combined. It's okay if there are lumps; overmixing can lead to a tough batter.

   • Heat oil in a deep pan or deep fryer to 350-375°F (175-190°C). The oil should be deep enough to fully submerge the food you are frying.

   • Dip vegetables, seafood, or other items (like shrimp, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, or broccoli) into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off.

Tips:

• Keep the batter cold until ready to use by placing the bowl in a larger bowl of ice.
• Work quickly when frying to maintain the crispiness of the tempura.
• Experiment with different vegetables, seafood, and even fruits for tempura variations.
