MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Dirty Dave's Sort-Of Tempura Batter Categories: Five, Breads, Deep-fry Yield: 7 Servings 5 tb All-purpose flour 3 c Aunt Jemima's Deluxe easy - pour pancake batter mix 1/4 ts Baking soda 3 1/2 c Club soda; room temp 1 1/2 c Water I first made this batter for a house party. I don't remember where I swiped the recipe from - but, it's mine now. Works well if you substitute beer for the water, too. Combine the flour pancake mix and baking soda in a deep bowl. Stirring constantly with a whisk or spoon pour in the club soda and water in a slow stream and continue to stir until the mixture is a smooth thin cream. Strain the batter through a fine sieve set over a clean bowl pressing down hard on any lumps with the back of a large spoon. Dip vegetables, shrimp, etc. in batter and drop into the deep-fryer or fondue pot with oil at 350°F-375°F. (175°C-190°C) Cook until batter is a nice golden brown and crispy.
