Sorghum Form

Tips & Tricks: This is a universal frying batter that can be used for anything from fish sticks to onion rings. Depending on capabilities or operation, water can be used instead of seltzer. Depending on the brand or product, the spices in the batter can also be adjusted accordingly. Whole grain sorghum flour lends itself well to this application as it retains its texture and nutty flavor without getting soggy.
