Ingredients:

¾ cup plain flour (all-purpose flour)

¼ cup cornflour (cornstarch) – for extra crispiness

½ teaspoon baking powder – adds lightness

½ teaspoon salt – enhances flavor

¼ teaspoon black pepper (optional) – for a bit of seasoning

¾ cup cold sparkling water or cold beer – for a light, crispy texture

Ice cubes (optional, to keep the batter cold while dipping)

 

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, cornflour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.

2. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water or beer until the batter is smooth and has a slightly runny consistency (like heavy cream).

3. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes in the fridge.

4. Dip your food (fish, vegetables, chicken, etc.) into the batter, let excess drip off, and fry immediately in hot oil (around 180°C / 350°F) until golden and crispy.

5. Drain on a rack or paper towels.
