CRISPY FRYING BATTER

Steps:

• IN BOWL: Beat 2 egg yolks and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• ADD 3/4 cup lukewarm water and 1 tablespoon oil, mix.
• Gradually add 3/4 cup flour until smooth.
• Set aside for at least one hour.
• Just before using beat the egg whites to soft peaks and fold into the batter.
• Ready to use for battering.
• I find this recipe sufficient in preparing four to six servings.
• It depends of course on what you are battering and how hungry the family.

CRISPY BATTER THAT STAYS CRISPY (FOR A LONG TIME)

Steps:

• Place the flour/starch, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir to mix everything. Only prepare your batter when you are ready to fry your food.
• Pour about 1 1/2 to 2-inch of oil into a stainless steel pot or Dutch oven. Preheat the oil to 330 F. It helps if you have deep-fryer thermometer if not, dip a stick end of wooden spatula, bamboo skewer, or chopsticks into the oil. If there are steady bubbles around it, the oil is most likely more than 330 F, but the temperature will drop once you put in the things you are going to fry. As long as it doesn't bubble vigorously, if it is, lower the heat a bit and test again
• Pour in the ice cold water into the flour mixture and use a chopstick to stir. Do not over stir with all-purpose flour. It's okay to have some lumps in the batter. If you over mix the flour batter, it will turn out gummy and absorbs too much oil. If you are preparing gluten-free batter, this is not an issue because cornstarch doesn't have gluten in it
• Coat the food with the batter and fry the food. Another important note is not to overcrowd and frying too many. If you lower the oil temperature too much, the batter will be greasy, soggy, and almost definitely will not stay crispy (if at all). This step is to cook the food inside the batter. Depending on what you are frying, follow the instruction on the time
• Remove from the oil to a rack. Let them cool down for at least 10 minutes before you go for the second frying. You can even stop at this step if you are prepping ahead. Keep the half-fried food in the fridge and do the second frying just right before serving, whenever that is
• Remove any crumbs from the oil and bring it back up to hot again over high heat. This time we need about 375 F. Use a thermometer if you have one. If you don't have one, again, use the stick end of wooden spatula, bamboo skewer or chopstick to test the oil. The bubbles will be steady. When it's ready, fry the food for the second time. This round should be quicker. The food will turn golden brown too. This step is to crisp up the food further
• Place the fried food on a rack set on a baking sheet. You can keep the rest warm in an oven at around 200 F and serve when you are done with frying all

KFC EXTRA CRISPY (COPYCAT)

Steps:

• Trim any excess skin and fat from the chicken pieces.
• Preheat the shortening in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees.
• Combine the beaten egg and milk in a medium bowl.
• In another medium bowl, combine the remaining coating ingredients (flour, salt, pepper and MSG).
• When the chicken has marinated, transfer each piece to paper towels so that excess liquid can drain off.
• Working with one piece at a time, first dip in egg and milk then coat the chicken with the dry flour mixture, then the egg and milk mixture again, and then back into the flour.
• Be sure that each piece is coated very generously.
• Stack the chicken on a plate or cookie sheet until each piece has been coated.
• Drop the chicken, one piece at a time into the hot shortening.
• Fry half of the chicken at a time (4 pieces) for 12-15 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
• You should be sure to stir the chicken around halfway through the cooking time so that each piece cooks evenly.
• Remove the chicken to a rack or towels to drain for about 5 minutes before eating.
• Note: I suggest (CopyCat) Kentucky Fried Chicken Marinade #75408.

• If too runny, add more flour. If too thick, add more liquid.
• Heat the oil in the wok or deep pan until 200C. Throw a bread crust to check, the oil is hot enough when the bread turns golden in 10 sec.
• Once the oil is hot, deep your fish/veggies into the batter, remove access of the batter on the edge of the bowl and gently immerse in the oil (away from yourself). Repeat with up to 4 pieces at a time. Make sure to let the oil get hot again between the batches.
