Flour Soda Batter is a light coating made with flour and carbonated water for foods that will be fried. The bubbles make the coating airy as it cooks; it is a frying batter, not a pour-over sauce.
Whisk flour with cold, plain carbonated water and optional salt until just combined. Dip dry pieces of food into the Flour Soda Batter, let excess drip off, and fry promptly so the bubbles have not gone flat.
Use plain club soda or sparkling water in Flour Soda Batter, not baking soda. Carbonated water adds bubbles and moisture, whereas baking soda is a chemical leavener and cannot replace the liquid in this batter.
Flour Soda Batter can form a crisp, airy coating because carbonation introduces bubbles into the mixture. For a better coating, keep the batter cold, avoid overmixing it, and drain excess batter from each piece before frying.
Flour Soda Batter should be fluid enough to coat food in a thin layer but thick enough to cling. If it slides straight off, whisk in a little flour; if it forms a heavy clump, loosen it with cold sparkling water.
Flour Soda Batter works well on fish, vegetables, onion rings, and other pieces suited to frying. Pat washed ingredients dry first, since water on the surface can make the coating slide off or splatter in the oil.
Dry the food thoroughly before dipping it in Flour Soda Batter. A light dusting of flour can help the batter cling to smooth pieces, and letting excess batter drip off prevents a thick, uneven coating.
It is best to mix Flour Soda Batter shortly before frying. The carbonation fades as it stands, making the coating less airy; if you must prepare it ahead, keep it chilled and stir it gently just before using.
Yes, Flour Soda Batter is usually made without eggs; flour and carbonated water are enough for a basic coating. Adding egg is optional and changes the batter’s texture, so it is not needed for the soda-water effect.
No, Flour Soda Batter does not make fried food low in oil. Its airy texture can make the coating feel lighter, but the food is still fried; drain cooked pieces on a rack or paper towel to remove surface oil.

Flour Soda Batter is a pourable coating made by mixing flour with soda water. The bubbles help keep the batter light, and it is used to coat ingredients before frying rather than served as a sauce on its own. It is a simple home-cooking method, with variations found in many places.
Dip vegetables, fish or other pieces into the batter, then fry until the coating is crisp and golden. The batter itself is largely carbohydrate, while the finished dish’s richness depends in part on how much oil it absorbs. For a lighter coating, let excess batter drip off before frying and avoid crowding the pan, which can make the crust greasy.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
