Ingredients
- 1 cup Cassava flour
- 0.5 cup Arrowroot powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Sparkling water
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 2 cups Cooking oil (such as coconut or avocado oil)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cassava flour, arrowroot powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, beat the large egg and add the sparkling water. Stir until fully integrated.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring continuously until you achieve a smooth, thick batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter – if it's too thick, add a bit more sparkling water.
Step 4
Place the coconut flour into a shallow dish. This will be used to dust the items you intend to coat with batter.
Step 5
Heat the cooking oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. The oil should reach about 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying.
Step 6
Dip your chosen item (fish, vegetables, poultry, etc.) into the coconut flour, ensuring a light coating.
Step 7
Next, immerse the item into the batter, making sure it is fully covered.
Step 8
Carefully place the battered item into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, typically about 2-3 minutes for smaller pieces, or until the color is achieved for larger items. Make sure to turn the pieces halfway through to cook evenly.
Step 9
Remove from oil using a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve immediately for best results with your favorite Paleo-friendly sauce or dip.
