I use this batter to fry fish or veggies in which is light and crispy.
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup Corn meal
1 Tbsp onion powder
1 Tbsp garlic salt
1 Tbsp Cajun Seasoning
1 beer(or enough to get it to the right consistency, thin pancake batter is what you're looking for).
Use less or more of the seasoning to your taste.
You can also use flavored charged water. Lemon lime or citrus goes good.
