Ultimate Tempura Batter

By á-58

I got this recipe out of an authentic Japanese Cuisine book, I tried it because it was simple and seemed legit and it was WONDERFUL! My whole, non-cultural family loved it, even my brother who hardly eats anything (besides mac & cheese and McDonald's) said it was awesome!

Ingredients

• 2 egg yolks
• 1 1/2 cups ice water
• 1 3/4 cups flour, sifted

Preparation

Step 1

1 In a large bowl place the egg yolks. 2 Add iced water gradually, stirring (preferably with hashi(chopsticks)) and blending well. 3 Add flour all at once, stir BRIEFLY; that is well enough to coat but leave the lumps and bumps! 4 To fry vegetables heat a large frying pan with a half-inch oil (or more if necessary) and heat on high. 5 Coat selected large vegetables in batter and fry for a minute or two on each side.
