Happy Battering
3/8 c. flour
1/8 c. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. baking soda
1 egg white
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. water
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. parsley
1/2 tsp. paprika
Separate eggs. Beat white until frothy and light. Do not overbeat, white should be very liquid and should not reach a stage where a peak will hold.
Fold all ingredients together and beat only until smooth.
