Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Continue until everything is cooked, discarding any remaining batter.

didn't really care for this because as simple as onion rings couldn't get batter to stick, used it thick and thin. Deep frying it came off. Can anyone help....Jean C

Make sure vegetables are dry and try coating in flour first then batter and fry.

We used to make a similar batter for dipping meat in for our fondue 40 years ago. Brings back fond memories.

I thought tempura batter was made with corn starch. Any comments?

Traditionally it is made with corn starch, however, ours is a shortcut version which is a little easier to work with. Enjoy!
