Ingredients

DUSTING

1/8 cup Gluten Free Nomad's All Purpose 1:1 Baking Flour

Pinch of salt

BATTER

1/2 cup Gluten Free Nomad's All Purpose 1:1 Baking Flour

1 tsp baking powder

Salt to season

Sparkling or soda water

Oil for frying

Method

Add the seafood in a bag and shake the pieces of seafood in the dusting mix.
In a separate bowl, make the batter and mix the flour, salt and baking powder.
Slowly add in the sparkling water and whisk, ensuring there are no lumps (start by forming a paste and then add more water until the desired consistency is reached - you can add more water if you prefer a thinner batter). You might like to add more water as you are cooking if the batter becomes thicker.
Add oil into a deep pot or pan so you have a shallow amount and heat on a medium/high heat.
Add your dusted seafood into the batter and then slowly pop into the oil
Turn once - one side is done and once golden brown, remove and place on paper towel. Continue until finished.
Season with salt and serve straight away.
