1 Tsp. baking powder

1 Tsp. salt***

1 Thin Batter:

1 C. all-purpose flour**

Prepare food to be fried (see suggested foods below). Thaw frozen foods completely before frying. Dry food completely before dipping into batter. Use Fritter Batter with chopped or shredded foods; use Thin Batter when you want to retain shape of food. Heat vegetable oil (2 to 3-inches) in deep-fat fryer or kettle to 375 degrees. Beat batter ingredients in bowl with hand beater until smooth. To prepare fritters: Stir about 1 cup suggested food into Fritter Batter; drop by level tablespoonfuls into hot oil and fry until completely cooked, about 5 minutes. Drain. Suggested foods for fritters: Chopped cooked shrimp or ham, cubed luncheon meat, corn, chopped apple or banana, pineapple cubes. To deep-fry foods: Coat suggested food with flour. Dip food into Thin Batter with tongs or fork, allowing excess batter to drip into bowl; fry in hot oil until golden brown. Drain. Suggested foods for deep-frying: Whole shrimp, scallops, oysters, fish fillets, chicken pieces (partially cooked ), cutlets, eggplant slices, cauliflowerets, onion rings, zucchini slices, pineapple slices, bananas (cut into fourths), apple slices and apricot halves. **If using self-rising flour, omit baking powder and salt. ***If adding salted foods to the batter, omit salt.
