Long John Silver’s Batter

Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup cold club soda
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, sugar, baking soda, onion powder, and garlic powder. Whisk together until well blended.
Slowly pour in the cold club soda while continuously whisking the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
Allow the batter to sit for a few minutes to slightly thicken.
Dip your choice of seafood or chicken into the batter, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the coated pieces into the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown and crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
Once cooked, remove the pieces from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the crispy delights hot and enjoy the homemade version of this fast-food favorite!
Thank you! Enjoy
