I added the bicarb and although it was crispy and worked really, REALLY well with mushrooms, and was delicious, it was too runny for the onion rings and they were devoid of batter and soggy. Add a bit more flour and it'll workl for less dense veg. Overall great. - 08 Oct 2011

These were ok, although the batter was a bit runny and extremely salty. Would use half the amount of salt if I was making these again. - 27 Dec 2012
