Basic Batter

For Katia who left a message on the tag board, here is the recipe for a basic batter - you can use this for fish, bananas, yam, pumpkin, squid or prawns, or other kinds of vegetables such as onion, egg plant, etc.

- 2 cups of self raising flour
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
- salt & white pepper
- water
- 3 small ice-cubes
- 1 teaspoon oil

Just mix together until lump free and a thick batter is formed.

If you are rushed for time, omit ice-cubes and oil.
