Ingredients for a 1 pint Creative Whip
- 1 cup cold water or 1 cup chilled vodka
- 1 cup all-purpose flour or 1 cup rice flour
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
directions
- Pour water into a large bowl. In another bowl whisk together flour and salt. Sprinkle flour mixture over water then barely whisk the batter. There will be lumps.
- Strain through a fine mesh sieve.
- Pour the smooth batter into your iSi Creative Whip.
- Screw on one iSi soda charger – not the silver cream charger – but a gold soda charger. Shake vigorously about 5 times.
- Test your batter. It should look like fizzy, soft whipped cream. Dip lightly floured pieces of seafood, veggies – like the green beans in the photo above – or seasonal wild mushrooms immediately or you can let the batter chill in your fridge until you’re ready to fry.
- To serve, preheat oil to 375°F and fry battered pieces until light golden. Sprinkle with salt while still hot and serve immediately with or without a dipping sauce.
- Your finished tempura dishes will be light and crisp enough to challenge even a tempura master chef!
