Savoury Fritter Batter
A light and airy batter perfect for coating vegetables, seafood, or meat before frying into crispy fritters.
Ingredients
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Egg yolk
- 60 ml Warm water
- 1 Egg white
Instructions
- 1In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- 2Add the egg yolk and warm water to the flour mixture. Using a wooden spoon or whisk, stir until the batter is perfectly smooth and resembles thick cream. Ensure there are no lumps.
- 3Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in a lighter fritter.
- 4Just before you are ready to use the batter, whip the egg white until stiff peaks form. You can use a whisk or an electric mixer.
- 5Gently fold the whipped egg white into the batter until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will deflate the egg white and make the batter less airy.
- 6The batter is now ready to use for coating your choice of ingredients before frying. Use immediately for best results.
