Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup club soda, cold
Instructions
- Step 1: Combine Dry Ingredients In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, sugar, baking soda, onion powder, and garlic powder until well blended.
- Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients Slowly pour in the cold club soda into the dry ingredients while continuously whisking to ensure the formation of a smooth batter. Allow the batter to sit for a few minutes to thicken slightly.
- Step 3: Prepare for Frying Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large skillet to 350°F (175°C). Make sure to have enough oil to fully submerge the pieces you plan to fry.

- Step 5: Drain and Serve Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried pieces from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Serve hot alongside your favorite dipping sauces.
