Blackpowder Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Here is an excellent light batter recipe. 1 cup plain flour 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup water 1 teaspoon baking powder a little salt Best batter I have ever used. I always think the best drink with fish and chips is a mug of good strong tea. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted April 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 i will have to try that using gluten free flour..............do you let the batter mix stand for a couple of hours before you use it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 If I am making fish and chips for my gf wife, I just mix cornflour and a pinch of salt with cold fizzy water to make a tempura batter. It turns out nice and crispy and she hasn't complained yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted April 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 is that instead of the baking powder.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 I've never used baking powder in batter. My standard batter is just plain wheat flour, egg and milk, beaten to death to get some air in and about the consistency of double cream. When fried in very hot oil it fluffs up and you get a crispy coat. The cornflour tempura batter is about the consistency of single cream, giving a thinner coating, but it still fluffs and crisps up nicely.
