I've perfected my tempura batter!

I was happy with tonight's dinner. As is customary in our house when my husband is off from work we get to have dinner together. One of the few times these past few weeks actually. So I made tempura, beef and mushrooms and for dessert, strawberry crumble.

I have been trying out different tempura batter recipes eversince I got started in the greenhouse and tonight I think I've got it. My tempura turned out white, crispy and light. Hooray!!! It was so simple. No sparkling water, ice cubes, yeast, beer or whatnot. Just an egg, some flour and water.

Tempura Batter

1 egg (chilled)

1 cup flour

1 cup ice water

Mix the egg and water. Add the flour and mix until the flour is just incorporated. No need to take out the lumps. Keep the batter chilled.
