This was not only easy but tasted great! I fried some zucchini and onions for pre dinner appetizers. Will be using this recipe again for fish. Thanks so much for posting!

This recipe was the best I have ever used.It didnt get my oil all dirty like most batters do.Light and airy texture.We didnt think it had enough salt but that is easily added.I made 4 batches to do a generous batch of onion rings and catfish nuggets,so make plenty to begin with.try this you will not be sorry!

My husband and I both really liked this batter. I cut it in half and it got a little thick on me, but I just added a little water and it thinned down nicely. It fried up to a nice golden brown color and crisped up prefectly. Five stars all the way!

Great with any meat or vegetable we have tried it with, and it doesn't trash your oil as some batters do. It is a great base to experiment with different spices depending on the fare. This will be used in our house for as long as I am doing the deep frying...
