Batter Fried Anything

A nice, light batter that goes a long way. I fried a big zucchini, a big yellow straightneck, and two large patty pan squash -- enough for 6 adults and two kids -- and I have leftovers. <br/><br/>It only misses being 5-star by being bland. I ended up adding some garlic powder and Italian seasoning for a flavor boost. But it was perfectly crisp and didn't get greasy.<br/><br/>Update: I have fried everything I ever fry in this mix -- squash, onion rings, chicken tenders, pork cubes, catfish nuggets, ... and, except for needing seasoning, it has worked well. I have made it with self-rising flour and no baking powder. I have made it with 1/3 cornbread mix subbed for part of the flour, and I have made it with beer instead of milk. It never fails to stick to the food and its never heavy.

great, simple recipe. Used it for making fried bananas--just dipped whole bananas in this batter and then deep fried them for Hanukka, and topped them with maple syrup. Yum!!

Really good, yet simple batter. I batter dipped some shrimp and they came out great. I served them with a hot (spicy) dipping sauce--great combo. Thanks for posting.

This is a superb recipe. Have used it twice now with fantastic results. An airy batter that allows the flavour of the foods to shine through. Also easy to season for added depth. Thanks for the recipe

this batter was great, It's light and fluffy and it does not take the flavour away from the fish.
