Batter Fried Vegetables

1/4 C. Soy Powder
1 Egg, beaten
1/4 t. Baking Soda
2 T. Heavy Cream
1 t. Lemon Juice
3 T. Olive Oil
1 t. Mrs. Dash
Sliced Veggie of Choice

Slice, rinse and blot dry veggies.  If you're using eggplant try soaking the slices in a bowl of buttermilk for 15 minutes before hand then blot dry but don't rinse.

Heat vegetable oil in large skillet to about 1 1/2- 2".  While it heats mix first 7 ingredients in a deep bowl.   This will make a pasty mixture.  Then begin adding COLD water very slowly and mixing after each little bit until you get the consistency of thin pancake batter.  This usually takes less then 1/2 C.

Toss a snippet of batter in the skillet or fryer to test the heat of oil.  If it sizzles, you're ready.  Dip each vegetable slice into the batter to evenly coat and then place directly into the hot oil.  Work quickly and in batches, turning as needed.  Have paper towels at the ready for draining each batch.  You can keep batches warm in a 250˚ oven if you like.

When done serve veggies ringed around outside edges of pretty salad plates with a dipping cup in the center filled with blue cheese, ranch, sour cream, or your favorite low carb dip.  For extra prettiness, sprinkle each "round" with paprika as they come out of skillet.
