1. In a medium-large mixing bowl, add in panko breadcrumbs and set aside.
2. In a medium sized bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, salt and black pepper. Slowly whisk in water, making sure that it is not clumpy.

Made these paleo style. I subbed cassava flour for all purpose flour, arrowroot starch for cornstarch, avocado oil for canola oil, maple syrup for agave and used a blend of blanched almond flour+tapioca flour for panko. It turned out fantastic!! So rich, delicious and meaty. Next time I’m gonna try a combination of baking and air frying instead of frying in oil for an even healthier recipe.
