Long John Silvers Batter
A light and crispy batter made with club soda, creating an airy coating perfect for frying fish and seafood.
- 1½ cups club soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1½ to 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
Heat oil to about 350°F, then mix salt, baking soda, baking powder, flour, and cornstarch until evenly combined.
Add club soda and stir gently until just combined, keeping the batter slightly lumpy with bubbles.
Dip fish or seafood into the batter and fry immediately for 3–5 minutes until golden, crispy, and puffed.
