To make a delicious batter, you need to pay attention to detail.

Recommendations for preparing the perfect batter were shared by the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova – with them, the dish will acquire not only an appetizing appearance, but also a tender and crispy texture.

The batter should be uniform.

When preparing batter, the most important thing is to achieve a uniform consistency. To achieve this, all ingredients should be thoroughly mixed.

If the recipe calls for eggs, beat the yolks and whites separately. The whites go into the bowl last to make the batter light and airy.

Don't rush to dip the food in batter - first lay it out on a cutting board and lightly sprinkle with flour or starch.

This trick will prevent the batter from dripping off the fish or meat while frying.

Choose the right liquid

To make the crust tender and less greasy, replace regular water with sparkling water. The gas bubbles will give the dough a light texture.

If you want a golden crispy crust, add alcohol to the dough – beer, cognac or vodka will do.

Whatever liquid you choose, it must be cold.
