Helpful Hints

  • You may substitute Dijon mustard for the vinegar and powdered mustard
  • For larger batches, double or triple the ingredients. 
  • You can substitute other flours. You may need to adjust the water content.
  • Batter will be easiest to work with just after mixing. If it thickens, add a small amount of water.
  • Want a bit more crunch? Try cooking in an air fryer.
