This generic batter may be used to fry vegetables, meat or seafood

First of all put the flour into a large bowl, pour the ice-cold sparkling mineral water (the bubbles keep the batter light and fluffy) in flour then add some salt and 2 tablespoons of olive oil
Using a wire whip, beat briskly until smooth and free of lumps
Keep testing by dipping the whip in and letting the batter drop slowly back into the mixture. If it drops slowly it's ok and ready to use
