Ingredients
The key to achieving Long John Silver’s trademark texture is using a combination of everyday ingredients with just the right balance. Begin by gathering:
- Flour and Cornstarch: These form the base of the batter, with cornstarch adding crispness.
- Baking Powder: This leavening agent ensures the batter stays light and airy.
- Seasonings: A mix of salt, pepper, paprika, and a touch of garlic powder adds depth to the flavor.
- Egg and Milk: These provide structure and help the batter adhere to the food.
- Club Soda: The secret to a bubbly and airy texture, it creates that signature crunch.
Instructions
Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and seasonings.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix it with milk and club soda.
Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry ones, stirring until smooth.
Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes to activate the leavening agents.
Heat the Oil: Preheat a deep fryer or a large skillet with oil to 350°F (175°C).
Maintaining this temperature ensures the batter cooks evenly and absorbs minimal oil.
Coat and Fry: Dip your seafood or vegetables into the batter, ensuring an even coating.
