Long John Silver’s Batter - Don't Lose This Recipe
Ingredients

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup club soda (for extra crispiness)
- Oil (for frying)

### Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika.

2. Add Liquids: Slowly pour in the cold water and club soda. Whisk the batter until smooth. It should be a pancake-batter-like consistency. If needed, add a little more water to thin it out.

3. Heat Oil: In a large pot or deep fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).

4. Batter and Fry: Dip fish fillets or chicken pieces into the batter, coating evenly. Carefully lower into the hot oil, frying for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

5. Drain and Serve: Remove from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with tartar sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.

Enjoy this crispy treat with some homemade fries or coleslaw!
