GLUTEN FREE TEMPURA BATTER



Gluten Free Tempura Batter image

After almost 20 years without sweet & sour chicken balls, I had a eureka moment. I was cooking pancakes, when it dawned on me that the batter was almost thick enough for deep frying, and it browned nicely. All the other recipes I'd tried refused to brown. This batter fries up light and crispy.

Tips:
