Why or why not? Please elaborate.Is it good to put baking powder in frying batter?
By adding baking powder it allows batter too poof up.


By adding corn starch to the batter will keep the batter from asorbing the grease.Is it good to put baking powder in frying batter?
It's perfectly possible, but instead of adding another reactant (the powder), substitute the same quantity of fizzy mineral water or beer for up to 60% your current liquid ingredient and you'll get a lot better 'puff' in your batter as well as extra flavour, with the beer in particular.





Hope this helps.
yes as long as it is not alot
Yes, but not much. It will give the food a bitter taste. I would rather substitute a pinch of soda. Or, better, substitute Perrier water or ginger ale for the batter liquid. The yeast in them make the finished food light and crispy.

I'd use baking soda instead. Baking soda works instantly, while baking power takes more time to puff the batter.
