Flour, water, egg, oil, salt and a little baking powder. I don't measure the ingredients, but probably 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of water, 1 egg, a TBS oil, a couple shakes of salt, and a dash of baking powder. Mix the ingredients together till it's about as thick as heavy cream, and dip the prepared veggies in. Fry in hot fat, turn as needed.

If you use a whole raw egg, you'll end up with a lot of batter. If you have leftovers, you can freeze it in a bag or other airtight container.
