My simplest easiest food that people cry over that makes you look good

Happy New Years!

Here it is ----- Tempura batter made from pancake mix

Use a buttermilk complete mix. Any liquid works - water, beer, club soda, whatever.

Mix liquid into the pancake mix until you have a thick drippy batter.

Make onion rings, fish fillets, fried cauliflower (my personal favorite)--- basically anything at all that can be tempura'd.

Ridiculously easy and tasty.

1. I've used a mixture of rice and wheat flours

and only wheat flour. The trick to tempura is keeping the mixture ice cold and it doesn't seem to matter if the liquid is carbonated or not. When I've done a lot of it at one time, I've actually added some of the water in the form of ice cubes. As long as the batter is kept icy, just about any refined flour seems to work.

I've also tried whole wheat tempura. It was edible (barely) but was an oily, sodden mess. Don't do it.

2. geez, you just gave me an idea

I can't enjoy the Tempura anymore due to a wheat/gluten sensitivity-

But with Bob's Red Mill GF pancake batter maybe... just maybe I can-

Then on the other hand I've lost a lot of weight since getting away from
all of that.

Aw what the heck- I'll try it.
