This batter is very thin, much like crepe batter. Keeping it cold in an ice bath is important because it helps make the tempura crispy and light.

I found this recipe on a cornstarch box in 1982 and what a great recipe. It is not only easy, but saves money not having to buy it ready made. I use it for cut up vegetables, fish and onion rings.

3/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup water
1 egg, slightly beaten

Steps:

  • In bowl mix first 5 ingredients; add water and egg and then stir till smooth,.
  • This batter is enough for 4 cups vegetables or 1 pound of fish or meat cut up.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn will give your tempura a sweeter, more flavorful taste.
  • Cut the corn kernels off the cob just before cooking: This will help to prevent the kernels from drying out.
  • Use a light batter: A heavy batter will weigh down the tempura and make it greasy.
  • Fry the tempura in hot oil: This will help to create a crispy coating.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Overcrowding the pan will cause the tempura to steam instead of fry.
  • Serve the tempura hot: Tempura is best enjoyed hot and crispy.
