Original Crispy Batter

• Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point, such as refined canola, sunflower or avocado oil.
• Ensure the oil is hot before cooking. Test with a small drop of batter first(min 180°C)
• Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain the right temperature.
• Beer enhances the flavour and helps create a lighter, less oily batter.
• For best texture, rest cooked pieces on a wire rack in a warm oven instead of on paper towels.
• A non-stick pan is ideal, but if using cast iron, use more oil and make sure it is very hot.

2. Lightly coat your protein or vegetables in flour, then dip into beaten egg.
3. Press gently into the panko to coat evenly on both sides.
4. Heat a little oil and butter in a pan. Once hot, cook until golden brown and crispy on each side.
5. Turn once only for best results.
