Make this batter and then use it immediately — you’ll want to have your cooking oil hot and ready to go, as well as have prepped all the items to be fried.

Reviews
Love this batter for carrots, onions, shrimp, zucchini and so much more!
I used sprite instead of seltzer and added a tablespoon of fish sauce. Gives an ever so slight sweet and umami flavor.
