This is pretty good, using just egg whites does make for a lighter batter. I would suggest using Club Soda instead of cold water - that makes for an even lighter batter. - 14 May 2014 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Came out light and fluffy! I used one egg white and one whole egg. Added some salt, pepper and garlic powder to the flour. And used club soda instead of water. - 09 Feb 2015 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Made exactly as the recipe. Puffed up nicely on the onion rings and fish I made but was very light in color and bland tasting. Ended up adding one yolk for a double batch and that helped along with some basic spices to liven the taste up. - 25 Dec 2014 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
