MEAT BATTER:
Enough for 1 broiler or 6 servings of fried meat
This may be used for batter-fried chicken or one version of chicken-fried steak. Spices such as garlic salt or paprika may be added to the flour to change the flavor from time to time.
2 eggs
½ C. milk
1 C. unsifted flour
1 tsp. double-acting baking powder
½ tsp. salt
In a deep bowl, beat the eggs and milk lightly. Combine the remaining ingredients and add to the egg mixture, a small quantity at a time. Stir just until the batter is smooth. Set the batter aside for 30 minutes. Dip the meat in the batter until it is well-coated and fry in hot oil or shortening.
