 Prepare food to be fried (see suggested foods below).
 Thaw frozen foods completely before frying. 
 Dry food completely before dipping into batter. Use Fritter Batter with chopped
 or shredded foods; use Thin Batter when you want to retain
 shape of food. Heat vegetable oil (2 to 3-inches) in deep-fat
 fryer or kettle to 375 degrees. Beat batter ingredients in bowl with
 hand beater until smooth.
 To prepare fritters: Stir about 1 cup suggested food
 into Fritter Batter; drop by level tablespoonfuls into hot oil
 and fry until completely cooked, about 5 minutes. Drain.
 Suggested foods for fritters: Chopped cooked shrimp or
 ham, cubed luncheon meat, corn, chopped apple or banana,
 pineapple cubes.
 To deep-fry foods: Coat suggested food with flour. Dip
 food into Thin Batter with tongs or fork, allowing excess
 batter to drip into bowl; fry in hot oil until golden brown.
 Drain.
 Suggested foods for deep-frying: 
 Whole shrimp, scallops, oysters, fish fillets, chicken pieces (partially cooked
 ),
 cutlets, eggplant slices, cauliflowerets, onion rings, zucchini
 slices, pineapple slices, bananas (cut into fourths), apple
 slices and apricot halves.
 **If using self-rising flour, omit baking powder and
 salt.
 ***If adding salted foods to the batter, omit salt.
