Making Fritter Batter

Mixing the eggs and milk Sift the flour into a bowl and mix in other dry ingredients. Make a well in the middle and into this, add the eggs then a small quantity of the measured liquid, such as milk. Stir the ingredients together gently, gradually making a paste that is thick, not smooth.

Beating to a smooth batter Add more liquid to make a fairly thick paste. Beat until smooth, making sure all lumps are broken down before adding the additional liquid a little at a time. Gradually add the remaining liquid, beating until smooth after each addition. Use a spatula to scrape any thicker mixture down from the side of the bowl occasionally. This ensures that when all the liquid is added the batter is completely smooth.
