Subj : 1/7 Nat'l Tempura Day - 4 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Thu Jan 05 2023 15:51:00 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Biscuit Mix Tempura Vegetables Categories: Vegetables, Breads Yield: 8 Servings Oil; for frying 1 1/2 c Biscuit mix 1 tb Butter; melted 2 lg Eggs; separated 3/4 c Light colored beer * 1/8 ts Fresh ground black pepper 2 lb Assorted fresh vegetables 2 ts Sea salt * may use club soda or lemon-lime soda Set oven @ 200ºF/93ºC. In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat about 4" of oil until thermometer registers 360ºF/182ºC. In a large bowl, blend biscuit mix, butter, egg yolks, beer and black pepper to make a smooth batter. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk egg whites until slightly froth. Fold into the biscuit mix. Let stand for about 10 minutes. Dip vegetable pieces, one at a time, into the batter. Place in hot oil, 4 at a time, and deep fry, turning once, until golden brown, 15 seconds per side. Place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Transfer to an ovenproof platter and keep warm in preheated oven. Make sure oil is the correct temperature before adding each batch. Serve with a light sprinkling of sea salt. Serves 8. TIPS: Cut the vegetable pieces the same size so they will fry evenly. VARIATION: For spicy vegetables, add 1 ts cayenne pepper to batter prior to frying. RECIPE FROM: https://www.food.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM ....
