Ingredients
1½ cups club soda
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
1½ to 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
4 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
Heat oil in a deep fryer or skillet to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine salt, baking soda, baking powder, flour, and cornstarch. Mix well.
Gently stir in the club soda until just combined. Do not overmix—lumps are okay.
Dip fish, shrimp, or vegetables into the batter, coating evenly.
Fry immediately in hot oil until golden brown and crispy.
Remove and drain on paper towels before serving.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter—bubbles from club soda create crispiness.
Use very cold club soda for best results.
Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature.
Best served immediately for maximum crunch.
Reheat in oven (not microwave) to keep crispy texture.
