Corn Tempura (v)

Ingredients

• 2 ears of corn (1½ C or 9 oz)
• 85 g flour
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 150 ml club soda
• 1 egg
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Sour cream or crème fraîche and smoked salmon (serving suggestion)

Directions

1. Fry: Heat oil in a frying pan. Spoon ¼ cup tempura batter into the pan and fry like pancakes, 2–3 minutes per side, until golden.
2. Drain & Serve: Cool on a wire rack, then serve with sour cream and caviar or smoked salmon.

Chef's Notes

• Use half the club sode to mix the lumps out of the flour mixture - this is much easier. The final product should be slightly more liquid
