Ingredients

  • flour – 2 tbsp
  • baking powder 1/4 tsp
  • sparkling water – 1/3 cup
  • grape seed oil -2-3 tbsp

  • Mix flour with the baking powder and start adding your sparkling water gradually stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

  • Fry about 2 min on each side till golden brown
  • Sprinkle with salt
