Tempura Batter Recipe
Ingredients
21/2 cups sifted flour
3 egg yolks
2 cups cold water
1 quart vegetable oil
Directions
Sift the flour 3 times.
Beat the egg yolks and water together.
Gradually add the flour, stirring lightly from the bottom with chopsticks or a spoon.
Don't overstir— flour should be visible on top.
Heat the oil to 325°—a constant temperature is important for good tempura.
Hold shrimp by the tail and dip in the batter; drop into the oil and fry until lightly browned.
Dip other ingredients into batter on a spoon and gently drop into oil.
Serve foods as soon as they are cooked, with the tempura sauce or coarse salt.
