Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Rice flour
  • 1 cup Self raising flour
  • 500 ml soda water
  • 1 teaspoon malt vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Keep all the ingredients and mixing bowl cold for extra crispy tempura batter.
  • Mix the two flours together.
  • Slowly add soda water while mixing.
  • Add the malt vinegar.

Notes

  • Only combine and mix the batter ingredients right before frying and don’t over mix the batter
  • This recipe is best when the batter is mixed and fried immediately, then eaten right away. Have everything else prepared and ready and leave the batter until last.
  • Be careful when dipping pieces into the hot oil. Slowly enter the pieces one by one to prevent burns from hot oil splashing back up on to your hand
