How do you make tempera batter

A tempura is a normal flour, water, cornstarch breading, but the addition of baking soda makes it get large when cooking. I love to make shrimp, pork, or chicken in this batter! If you do a search on bettycrocker.com, there's a recipe for sweet and sour chicken that has the best batter I've found, and the sauce is fantastic too! (but I leave out all the veggies..lol)

from what i know, i think its lighter then regular batter. there are actually several different type of recicpies. you can customize it, but the basics are flour, eggs & water. anything else is more for flavor. the tempura isn't supposed to be too thick, but a light coating on the vegtables or fish. here's one recipie i found. http://www.bento.com/tr-temp.html ...but just experiment with what you have for flavor and what you think tastes good.
