For Frying

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  2. Gradually pour in the chilled sparkling water, stirring gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if a few lumps remain.
  3. In a deep pan, heat about 1 to 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Cooking
  1. Take your choice of vegetables, chicken, or seafood, and dip them into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
  2. Carefully place the battered pieces into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Once cooked, transfer the battered items to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
  4. Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings or dipping sauces.

Notes

Ensure your sparkling water is chilled for extra crispiness. If possible, avoid overmixing to maintain airy texture. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in an air fryer or oven.
