- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder or 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh garlic, finely minced
- 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1⁄4 cup cornstarch
- 1⁄2 cup milk

- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons sherry wine
- 1 teaspoon fresh gingerroot, put thru garlic press
Directions
- Mix eggs, salt, garlic, flour, cornstarch, and milk to make a smooth batter.
- Mix honey, lemon juice, sherry and ginger together and marinate shrimp (split in back), lobster (cut in cubes), chicken (cut in pieces 1" x 2"), or thin-sliced pork for at least 15 minutes.
- Fry dipped pieces in peanut oil until light brown.
- OPTION:
- Cool fried pieces after frying, then refrigerate, if desired, and later redip in batter, refry until golden brown.
