TEMPURA BATTER
INGREDIENTS
3 litres of oil for deep frying
2 cups plain flour
2 egg yolks
2 cups (500ml) iced water
Selection of food from above
METHOD
1. Fill deep fryer with oil and preheat to
190°C.
2. To prepare batter, sift flour into a bowl.
Make a well in the centre. Add egg
yolks and iced water stirring until just
combined. The batter should be lumpy
and only half mixed. As batter will
thicken on standing, use immediately.
3. Coat food of choice in batter allowing
excess batter to drain off.
4. With basket in lowered position, deep
fry food in small batches until pale
golden, approximately 4–5 minutes
allowing oil to reheat between each
batch. Drain on absorbent paper.
Serve tempura foods with tempura
dipping sauce.
