(4 votes, average: 4.25)
Loading...
The iSi Whip isn’t just for whipped cream or foams; it’s also a great way to make airy batters as you’re going to experience with this recipe. After making tempura using the iSi, you’ll never go back to using a whisk again.
The great thing about this method is that the batter can sit for a bit without rising too much and going bad so your waste is reduced and your efficiency is increased because you can make a larger batch at once. This is a nice, light tempura that you can use for a variety of foods.
