Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Slowly pour in the ice-cold club soda while whisking gently until combined.

- Dip your fish or vegetables into the batter and let the excess drip off.
- Carefully place into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides.
Notes
