Silver’s Batter Recipe

Here’s a simple recipe for silver batter, which is a light and crispy batter that works well for frying fish, vegetables, or other foods. It creates a delicate golden crust, perfect for deep frying.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
• 1 cup cold sparkling water or cold soda water (adjust as needed)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional, for extra crispiness)

Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper (if using).
2. Add Liquid:
   • Slowly add the cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients, stirring gently. The carbonation from the sparkling water helps create a light, crispy texture.
   • Stir until just combined. The batter should be thick but pourable. If it’s too thick, add a little more sparkling water to reach the desired consistency.
3. Heat the Oil:
   • Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pan to about 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into the hot oil. It should sizzle and float to the top immediately.
4. Coat the Food:
   • Dip your chosen food (fish fillets, vegetables, or other items) into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
