Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To make the tempura batter, simply mix the eggs, flour, and water together. Do not over mix, it is ok if the batter is lumpy. Lumpy batter has more air in it which helps give your tempura a light, airy texture.
  2. To use, dip your vegetable or protein of choice in the batter to coat and fry in oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot that is at 340F/170C.
