How about tempura batter? Need a recipe? Basically...
ice water (hubby likes it with beer), flour and corn starch:
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp sugar
1/2pinch salt
1 egg
2/3 cup beer (or ice water)
Sift together the dry ingredients.
Beat egg slightly and mix with water. Add dry ingredients and stir only until mixed; mixture will be slightly lumpy.
Dip chicken, shrimp, vegetables, etc. into the batter and deep fry in hot (375 degrees) oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
