Print

Ingredients

  • 1 cup  whole-wheat pastry flour
  • 1/4 tsp. sea salt
  • 1–1 1/4 cups  water
  • 2 tsp.  kuzu root starch*, diluted in a little cold water
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Assorted vegetables (try squash, avocado, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots)

Instructions

  • Combine the flour, sea salt, water, and kuzu and stir well, making sure there are no lumps.
  • Heat 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat (350ºF) in a medium-sized pot.
  • Dip the vegetables in the batter until covered, then slide gently into the oil. When browned on all sides, remove from the oil using a fork or tongs.
  • Let cool for a minute, then pierce with a skewer stick. Now you’re ready for the county fair!
    *Kuzu root starch acts as a thickening agent. You can also use egg replacer, cornstarch, or arrowroot powder.
