Fantastic Crispy Tempura Batter Recipe - Food.com image

Whenever I have tempura at a restaurant it is always so light and crispy, the boxed store-bought stuff is okay providing you rush to the table within minutes to eat it or it gets soggy and soft, I have tryed many tempura recipes over my 35 years of cooking I have to say this one is the best, it produces a very light crispy coating that holds up well --- I have used this to make tempura veggies and froze them after deep-frying in this batter, and just reheated them in a small amount of oil, also with bite-size meaty

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup beer (do not use a dark beer!)
3/4 cup rice flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional or to taste)
vegetable oil (for deep frying)
seasoning salt

Steps:

  • In a bowl whisk beer with the rice flour until very smooth.
  • Add in salt and garlic powder and cayenne (if using).
  • Let sit out at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  • Heat oil to 375 degrees.
  • Dredge the fish or veggies into the batter coating completely with batter, letting any excess drip off.
  • Deep-fry turning once until golden (about 3 minutes).
  • Transfer to a piece of brown paper (a brown paper bag will do for this!).
  • Season with seasoning salt.
