1/2 C milk
1 egg
3/4 C flour
1/2 t salt

Combine and mix well. Makes enough batter to fry 3 large onions. If you're
vegan, I imagine you could use unflavored soymilk and an egg substitute, but
I've never tried it that way. Enjoy!

I don't know about "The" batter, but here is a batter that you can use for
deep frying vegetables.

from Simply Heavenly: The Monastery Vegetarian Cookbook
by Abbot George Burke

Deep-Frying Batter

1 tsp. Basil, powdered
1 tsp. Black pepper
1/2 tsp. Garlic salt
3 c. Unbleached white flour
2 T. Baking powder
2-3 c. Club soda

Combine the basil, pepper, garlic salt, flour, and baking powder. Add the
soda until you have a batter of the desired consistency. Dip whatever you
wish to fry into the batter and then deep-fry at 400 degrees F.

I'm not sure what you mean by "the" batter to use, but I use a
beer-based one....

Beer Batter
^^^^^^^^^^^
1 cup flour
1-1/4 cup (or slightly more) beer (any kind--the cook gets to finish the
leftovers)
pinch salt
(1 or 2 Tbsps finely chopped parsley, if appropriate)

Beat all ingredients together well, and let stand in a cool place (not
the fridge) for at least one hour; preferably two.

The batter will separate in a rather disgusting manner during that time,
but don't worry--beat it well before use.

Use as a batter for deep-frying, or mix in chopped ingredients and make
drop-cakes (what're they called?) in a frying pan.

i think by "the" batter, he may have been referring to a tempura batter used
for deepfrying zucchini & other sliced veggies in japanese cooking.

1/2 cup flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 egg whites
1/2 cup beer
peanut oil for deep frying

Make the tempura batter by whisking flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt
in a medium bowl and whisking in egg whites and beer. Let sit in the
refrigerator about 30 minutes. Pour peanut oil into a deep saucepan to the
depth of about three to four inches and heat on high until a bread cube
dropped into the oil immediately sizzles.
