These were okay, but didn't stay crispy like hockeychick said. I thought they were a little bland. Thanks for posting regardless. ;-)

The batter is delicious and works on zucchini as well. However after all of the batches were cooked the majority of the beans were cold and no longer crisp. Would probably work well if frying up for individuals instead of a group.

Delicious. I substituted milk for the water. Great recipe.
